After Action Report

The Spurs edged the Kings 116-109. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
