The Spurs fended off the 76ers 115-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
