After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs ran roughshod over the Rockets 129-92. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. The Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
