After Action Report

The Spurs snuck past the Hornets 134-131 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
