After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Celtics 144-111. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
