After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Trail Blazers 115-114. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
