After Action Report
In a track meet, the Spurs upended the Rockets 136-135 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
