After Action Report
In a track meet, the Spurs squeaked past the Hornets 133-130. Spurs controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
