After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Magic 106-104. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
