After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Trail Blazers 117-115 in overtime. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
