After Action Report
In a track meet, the Spurs downed the Kings 109-96. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
