After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets rolled past the Spurs 123-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
