After Action Report

The Spurs pulled away from the Wizards 103-93. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
