After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Rockets 128-106. Spurs torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Spurs ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
