After Action Report

The Spurs outlasted the Bobcats 124-111. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
