After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs ran roughshod over the Rockets 127-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Spurs; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
