After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Timberwolves 119-99. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
