Tinfoil hat time:
Maybe the Nuggets wanted to avoid playing the Lakers in round 1, so they took the opportunity to throw the game.

That is a very big and elaborate tinfoil hat.
I doubt Nuggets are afraid of the Lakers. They swept the Lakers in the WCF last playoffs and had beat them in all 3 meetings this season. They probably just got over confident with that big lead entering the second half and didn't expect the Spurs to fight back like that. I mean, who the heck would expect a rookie to score 17 points in 3 minutes against the Nuggets?
