After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Spurs blew the doors off the Hornets 130-88. 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 bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
