After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Spurs 101-97. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
