After Action Report
The Spurs rolled past the Nuggets 133-95. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
