After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Spurs 104-101 in overtime. Rockets torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
