After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Hornets 102-97. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · 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.
