After Action Report
The Spurs shocked the Hornets 108-104. Every possession went the Spurs way. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
