After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Spurs 116-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
