After Action Report

The Spurs blew the doors off the Pacers 126-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
