After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Rockets buried the Spurs 129-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
