After Action Report
The Spurs handled the Hornets 107-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; 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. Style points be damned.
