White heat burns Nuggets as Spurs sizzle

San Antonio point guard Derrick White was screaming, flexing and stomping around the court after almost every basket against Denver on Thursday night.

It was completely out of character for White, but the mild-mannered point guard has never been in this situation before.

White had a career-high 36 points and the Spurs beat the Nuggets 118-108, withstanding a first-half lapse to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round series.
