After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Cavaliers 109-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
