After Action Report

The Spurs outlasted the Jazz 103-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
