After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Trail Blazers 97-94. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
