The San Antonio Spurs reclaimed home court advantage on Saturday by defeating the Nuggets by a final score of 86-78.

Manu Ginobili had 32 points and 9 rebounds, while Tim Duncan had just 11 points and rebounds.

``I was proud of our guys for hanging with it for 48 minutes,'' Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. ``Robert Horry was big for us and Ginobili was aggressive all night.''

Carmelo Anthony had 19 points, but had a hard foul on Ginobili and was ejected.  He may face a suspension for Game 4.

``They are good defenders,'' Duncan said. ``I was getting the shots that I wanted, but I wasn't able to knock them down. They are doing a great job, but I'm helping them a little bit.''
