After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Rockets squeaked past the Spurs 129-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
