After Action Report
The Spurs took care of the Hornets 112-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
