After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Hornets 95-94. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
