After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Hornets 110-107. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
