After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Trail Blazers 119-112. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
