After Action Report
The Spurs snuck past the Magic 101-97. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
