These Spurs suddenly look more king of the mountain than over the hill.

The seasoned Spurs took a 2-1 series lead on the youthful Nuggets with a 96-91 victory Saturday night that was fueled by two old pros with a combined quarter century of NBA experience.

With Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker doing the heavy lifting as usual, 36-year-old Robert Horry and 34-year-old Michael Finley put the game out of reach with a flurry of 3-pointers in the third quarter.
