After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Cavaliers 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
