After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs ran roughshod over the Kings 123-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
