After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Nets 100-98. Spurs controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
