After Action Report

The Spurs took care of the Grizzlies 97-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
