The Nuggets lost their cool against the Spurs on Saturday night.

Denver needed to win its final two home games to secure their second straight Northwest Division title, but their lost to San Antonio could be damaging.

"Every loss at this point of the season is costly," said Denver guard Chauncey Billups.

The Nuggets were called for four technicals in the loss, including two for star Carmelo Anthony.

Denver hosts Memphis on Monday and plays at Phoenix on Tuesday.

They are tied with the Jazz for the lead in the division.
