After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs handled the Rockets 106-88. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
