After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 124-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
