After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Spurs survived the 76ers 115-113. Spurs controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
