After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Rockets 113-112. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
