After Action Report
The Spurs pulled away from the Rockets 117-99. Spurs torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
