After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Rockets snuck past the Spurs 104-101. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
