After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs held off the Pistons 112-106. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
