After Action Report
The Spurs rolled past the Grizzlies 127-98. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
