After Action Report
In Houston, the Spurs rolled past the Rockets 125-90. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
