After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Spurs 123-99. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
