Keys to the Game:
•Win the 3 Battle
The Spurs went 3 for 24 (12.5%) in their last game from three point land and their opponent went 9 for 21 (42.9%). It's unlikely the Spurs shoot that bad from long range again, but don't help them do it by any means. Pressure up on them, make them take shots and then on the other side of the court, knock your attempts down.
•Crash the Boards
One thing the Spurs also lost in against the Sixers was the rebounding battle. This IS something you can control. Crash the boards on offense and defense and grab that board. Let your defense lead to offense.
