After Action Report

The Rockets downed the Spurs 125-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
