After Action Report
The Spurs shocked the Hornets 128-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
