After Action Report

The Spurs ran roughshod over the Pacers 131-66. Spurs' offense had its way with the Pacers. Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
