After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Hornets 136-99. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
