After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs took care of the Hornets 117-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
