After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs squeaked past the Hawks 116-112. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
