After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs handled the Trail Blazers 116-100. Spurs' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
