After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs buried the Hornets 111-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Spurs; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
