After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the SuperSonics 98-90. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
