After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Grizzlies 140-111. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
