After Action Report
The Spurs pulled away from the Hornets 116-99. Spurs torched the Hornets on the offensive end. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
