After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 106-81. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

- 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.
