After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs buried the Hawks 120-85. Spurs' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; 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. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
