After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Spurs 116-110. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
