After Action Report

The Spurs took care of the Rockets 130-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs steamroller is in full effect right now. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
