After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs held off the Pacers 114-105. Spurs controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
