After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Rockets 104-100. Every possession went the Spurs way. Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
