After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs survived the Wizards 114-112. Spurs controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
