After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Hornets 105-103. Every possession went the Spurs way. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
