After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs snuck past the Rockets 121-120. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
