After Action Report
The Spurs handled the Hornets 132-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
