After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Hornets 101-90. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night. 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.
