After Action Report
The Spurs downed the Rockets 105-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
