After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Heat 102-94. Every possession went the Spurs way. Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
