(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Antonio Spurs have won three straight and will try to continue their fine form Tuesday night when they visit the Pepsi Center to face the Denver Nuggets. The defending NBA champions have taken five of six, including two of three on the road. San Antonio will travel to Chicago to face the Bulls on Thursday, which ends this mini road trip and foreshadows a six-game homestand. On Sunday, the Spurs won with defense in an 89-69 victory over the Utah Jazz at AT&T Center. Five Spurs reached double figures in a balanced effort, and San Antonio held Utah to 33.3 percent shooting. Utahs 69 points was a season-low for a Spurs opponent. Tiago Splitter had 14 points, Danny Green scored 13, and Kawhi Leonard and Aron Baynes posted 12 apiece in the dominant victory. The Spurs won their second straight game in convincing fashion since Leonard returned to the lineup after missing the last 15 games with a torn ligament in his hand. The reigning NBA champs are 17-7 with him in the lineup this season. He always impacts the game. Whether its the person he is guarding or giving help and making a steal, rebounding the basketball, scoring. He always has an impact on the game, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Tim Duncan was the final San Antonio player in double figures with 11. The Nuggets have dropped three straight following a five-game winning streak. Two of those setbacks came on the road, but Denver begins a three-game homestand Tuesday, which will also feature visits from the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards. Denvers most recent defeat was demoralizing to say the least. On Monday, the Nuggets stopped by Oracle Arena and left with a 122-79 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Ty Lawson netted 19 points and six rebounds for the Nuggets. Jameer Nelson totaled 14 points and dished out five assists in defeat. No other Denver player cracked double figures. Its a shame, said Nuggets coach Brian Shaw. When youre playing the best team in the league right now and you play that way and you perform that way, I dont know, its tough to swallow. Stats dont lie, especially in 43-point blowouts. Golden State shot 54.3 percent from the field, 48.1 percent from long range, grabbed 53 rebounds, handed out 30 assists on 44 made field goals and committed 13 turnovers. Denver shot 34.5 percent from the floor, 29.2 percent from the 3-point arc, had 39 boards, 17 assists and 16 turnovers. The Spurs beat the Nuggets in Denver on Dec. 14 and have taken four straight between the two teams. San Antonio has won three in a row in the Mile High City. Mexico Jerseys .

Brandon Moss hit his second homer of the game leading off the 10th, and the Oakland Athletics rallied for a 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. The majors best run-producing offence then got an RBI double from Jed Lowrie and a run-scoring single from Kyle Blanks to open a big lead for Oaklands suspect back end of the bullpen. "The way the guys were swinging in the 10th inning, it was like they could smell the victory and found a way to get it done," the As reliever said. "Thats typical Oakland As baseball." Returning to the lineup after missing two games with a strained right calf, Moss drilled a full-count pitch from Adam Warren (1-3) into the second deck down the right field line for his 15th homer. That gave the AL West-leading As their first lead in a game that was delayed more than an hour at the start by rain. "We have a very confident offence," Moss said. Doolittle finished off the As fourth straight win with a perfect 10th for his sixth save. The left-hander extended his scoreless streak to 15 1-3 innings. Dan Otero (5-1) pitched an inning for the As, who improved to 7-13 when trailing after seven innings. Pinch-hitter Stephen Vogt hit a tying double off Dellin Betances with two outs in the eighth inning. Betances walked Albert Callaspo before Vogt drilled a full-count pitch into the right-centre gap. "That at-bat was incredible ... because Betances, he is a really good reliever," Moss said. "I felt like that pretty much did it for us." Betances had not walked a batter over his previous 10 appearances (15 1-3 innings). "I felt good. I just think the two out walk hurt, I had him in my head and I just did not put him away," Betances said. "I think from there I just fell behind on Vogt and just threw him a good pitch to hit. I think Callaspo, that at-bat was more frustrating." The injury-depleted Yankees came in looking hardly like the Bronx Bombers they are expected to be. With an opening-day payroll about $120 million moree than the As, New York had hit just five homers in 15 games and none in the two Mark Teixeira sat with inflammation in his surgically repaired right wrist.dddddddddddd Teixeira, though, woke up pain-free Tuesday and manager Joe Girardi made the switch-hitter the cleanup batter. Teixeira drove in New Yorks two runs, homering in the sixth for a 2-1 lead. "He said he was fine," Girardi said. "You know you kind of keep your fingers crossed and hope he feels good tomorrow." In contrast, Moss drive off Hiroki Kuroda into Monument Park leading off the fifth gave the slugging As at least one long ball in 11 straight games. A rainbow arcing high above the scoreboard in centre field before the rain-delayed first pitch appeared to be a good omen for New York, which grabbed a quick lead. Scott Kazmir needed four batters to warm up after a storm pushed back the start 1 hour, 12 minutes. Brett Gardner singled leading off. After Derek Jeter struck out, Jacoby Ellsbury singled and Teixeira dunked a blooper inside the right field line for a 1-0 lead. After that, Kazmir retired 16 of 17 -- including four Ks in a row -- before Teixeira sent a drive into the As bullpen in left-centre for his 10th homer -- the second swinging from the right side -- and a 2-1 lead. "He just ran out of pitches," Melvin explained why he lifted Kazmir when he did. NOTES: The As improved to 11-3 against New York since July 19, 2012. ...
