What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
