After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Rockets handled the Spurs 103-90. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
