After Action Report

The Spurs blew the doors off the Hornets 132-105. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
