After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Rockets 140-111. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
