After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets handled the Spurs 131-116. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
