After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Cavaliers 144-86. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
