After Action Report
The Spurs outlasted the Rockets 116-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
