After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Rockets blew the doors off the Spurs 132-84. Rockets' offense had its way with the Spurs. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
