After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Hornets 108-107. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
