After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs rolled past the Rockets 120-88. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
