After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Spurs 116-112. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
