What happened: San Antonio sprinted after every defensive rebound to start the possession quickly. Victor Wembanyama waited for a made basket to drop through and tipped it to a teammate for a faster inbound while he sprinted up the floor.

Why it matters: Early offense before the defense sets limits rotations and forces cross-matches. A full-sprint rebounding approach commits all five players to running rather than leaking out selectively.

What to watch: Watch whether San Antonio sustains the sprint on misses through the middle quarters.
