After Action Report
The Spurs fended off the Rockets 104-97. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
