After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Warriors 110-107. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
