After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Rockets 133-105. Spurs torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
