After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Rockets 116-109. Spurs torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Spurs pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
