After Action Report
The Spurs shocked the Clippers 124-114. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
