After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Hornets 135-70. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
