After Action Report
The Spurs held off the Cavaliers 121-113. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Spurs; the Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
