From the report:

The speed brakes extended normally, and the thrust reversers were deployed
to idle reverse thrust. The captain said that, shortly after touchdown, he retracted the
speedbrakes by the action of moving the speedbrake lever to its down and locked position,
which disabled the autobrakes. He did not “slow too much initially” because the runway
appeared dry, he wanted to expedite their time on the runway, and because he preferred
decelerating gradually for passenger comfort.
