After Action Report
The Spurs pulled away from the Magic 122-111. Spurs' offense had its way with the Magic. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Spurs. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
