After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Rockets 101-96. Spurs torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
