After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Rockets 103-101. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
