After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs demolished the Pacers 140-87. Spurs' offense had its way with the Pacers. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
