After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 128-106. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
