After Action Report

The Spurs squeaked past the Hawks 117-112. Spurs' offense had its way with the Hawks. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
