After Action Report
The Spurs shocked the Rockets 116-114. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
