After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs squeaked past the Cavaliers 103-102. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
