Manu Ginobili knew Game 2 would have to be different after the Spurs' top three scorers delivered less-than-stellar performances in the opening-game loss to the Nuggets.

He was right and the Spurs won 97-88 on Wednesday night to even the first-round series.

"A sense of urgency is what kept us matching that aggressiveness," Ginobili said. "Today we were much more aggressive. We fight for loose balls and boards and that's what we've got to do every single game."
