After Action Report
The Spurs demolished the Rockets 110-79. Every possession went the Spurs way. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
