After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 107-87. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
