After Action Report
In a track meet, the Spurs demolished the Celtics 119-98. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
