After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Spurs 118-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
