After Action Report
The Spurs snuck past the Kings 128-124. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
