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.
