After Action Report

The Spurs outlasted the Raptors 127-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; the Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
