After Action Report

The Spurs edged the Rockets 100-93. Spurs torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
