After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Spurs held off the Suns 102-93. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs steamroller is in full effect right now; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
