After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Spurs 126-106. Rockets torched the Spurs on the offensive end. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Spurs. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
