After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Hornets 120-82. Spurs' offense had its way with the Hornets. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
