After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Spurs 117-91. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
