After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Rockets 99-95. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
