After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Rockets 105-97. Spurs' offense had its way with the Rockets. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
