After Action Report

The Spurs snuck past the Grizzlies 130-125. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
