After Action Report
The Spurs downed the Hornets 104-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 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. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
