After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Spurs demolished the Hornets 124-98. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; 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. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
