The Spurs snuck past the Trail Blazers 102-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
