After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Spurs outlasted the Hawks 120-114. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. 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.
