After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs outlasted the Bobcats 112-106. The tempo dragged the Bobcats into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
