After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs blew the doors off the Hornets 94-72. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
