After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Spurs 125-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
