After Action Report
The Spurs took care of the Cavaliers 94-83. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
