After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs squeaked past the Cavaliers 122-119. Spurs' positional fit overwhelmed the Cavaliers rotation. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
