After Action Report

In a track meet, the Spurs squeaked past the Rockets 107-106. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
