DENVER (AP) -- Wilson Chandler hit a go-ahead jumper with 29.3 seconds remaining and the Denver Nuggets beat the San Antonio Spurs 115-112 Wednesday night.

The Spurs were playing their first game since losing Tim Duncan indefinitely to a left ankle sprain in Monday night's night win over Golden State.

Rookie center Tiago Splitter got the start in place of Duncan and had a quiet night, scoring 4 points and remaining on the bench after picking up his fourth foul with 5:37 left in the third quarter.

Up by five at the half, the Spurs took a 93-90 lead into the fourth quarter and stretched it to 98-91 on a layup by Matt Bonner.

That's when the Nuggets countered with an 11-0 flurry that put them in front 102-98.
