After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs outlasted the Pistons 136-126. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
