After Action Report

The Spurs survived the Jazz 109-104. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
