After Action Report
The Spurs rolled past the Trail Blazers 121-82. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
