After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Hornets 101-100. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
