After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Spurs rolled past the Hornets 129-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
