After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 121-88. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. The Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
