After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Trail Blazers 112-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
