After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs snuck past the Hornets 100-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
