After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs squeaked past the Hornets 127-122 in overtime. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
