After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Hornets 127-106. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
