After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Spurs 117-114. Rockets torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
