After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Wizards took care of the Spurs 113-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
