After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Celtics 127-95. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Spurs. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
