After Action Report
The Spurs rolled past the Rockets 128-106. Spurs' scorers couldn't be contained. Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
