After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs rolled past the Celtics 118-85. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
