After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Spurs 102-94. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
