After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Spurs 111-110. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
