After Action Report

The Spurs pulled away from the SuperSonics 136-122. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
