After Action Report

The Spurs outlasted the Rockets 96-88. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
