After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Spurs 99-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
