After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Nets 107-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
