After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Wizards 108-107. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
