After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets survived the Spurs 117-115. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
