After Action Report

The Spurs outlasted the Kings 121-115. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
