After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Spurs 112-111. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
