After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 123-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
