After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 137-117. Spurs' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
