After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Spurs 125-100. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
