After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Hornets 100-79. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
