After Action Report

In a track meet, the Spurs blew the doors off the Hornets 132-99. Spurs controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
