After Action Report

In Washington, the Spurs held off the Wizards 116-107. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 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.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · 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.
