After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Spurs 120-91. Rockets torched the Spurs on the offensive end. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Spurs lately. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
