After Action Report

The Spurs survived the Grizzlies 106-101. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
