After Action Report

The Spurs blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 120-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
