After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets survived the Spurs 108-104. Rockets' offense had its way with the Spurs. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
