After Action Report

The Spurs blew the doors off the Cavaliers 112-92. Spurs torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
