After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Magic 114-109. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
