After Action Report
The Spurs upended the Grizzlies 117-102. The Grizzlies had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
