After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Spurs 113-110. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
