After Action Report
The Spurs snuck past the Rockets 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
