After Action Report

The Spurs edged the Rockets 116-109. Spurs torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
