After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Rockets demolished the Spurs 132-104. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
