After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Clippers 114-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
