After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Hornets 125-98. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
