After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Pacers 115-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. 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. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
