After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Cavaliers 116-96. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
