After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Spurs 128-118. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
