After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Trail Blazers 99-93. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
