After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Spurs 96-85. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
