After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Rockets 103-102. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets are in a full-on tailspin; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 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
- 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.
