After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Cavaliers 116-89. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
