After Action Report
The Spurs snuck past the Rockets 95-92. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
