After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Spurs 106-100. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
