After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Spurs fended off the Kings 112-103. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
