After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Hornets 132-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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.
