After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Spurs held off the Suns 99-90. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
