After Action Report
The Spurs downed the Hornets 109-99. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
