After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Rockets 102-96. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
