After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Spurs 125-102. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
