After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Spurs ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 130-99. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
