After Action Report
In a track meet, the Spurs held off the Clippers 116-108. 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. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
