After Action Report
The Spurs pulled away from the Magic 112-100. Spurs controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
