After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Rockets 111-109. Every possession went the Spurs way. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
