After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Spurs demolished the Cavaliers 108-73. Lineup balance gave the Spurs a clear synergy edge. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
