After Action Report
The Spurs took care of the Rockets 115-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
