After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Spurs blew the doors off the Bobcats 119-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
