After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Spurs 92-88. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
