After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Spurs 119-98. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
