After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Rockets 124-90. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
