After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs pulled away from the Bulls 104-87. Spurs' positional fit overwhelmed the Bulls rotation. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
