Exciting Game Ahead: Spurs vs Rockets

Welcome to the Game Thread! Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.

It seems like just a few days ago that the Spurs were playing the Rockets in the Frost Bank Center... Hang on a sec, it WAS just two days ago. The Spurs held the Rockets scoreless for 9 minutes in the second quarter and led by as much as 22 before holding on to win 109-106 in front of an appreciative home crowd in their first home game of the season.

Game Strategy

• The Spurs need to capitalize on the aggressive defense of the Rockets.
• Keeping the ball moving to the open player will ensure easy scoring opportunities.
• Defensively, containing Jalen Green is crucial, as he found the path to the hoop open for most of the second half.

Additionally, Dillon Brooks tries to show disrespect to Victor by eating a sandwich while defending Wembanyama but ends up getting assessed a technical for bringing food onto the court.

One final word: Go Spurs GOOOOOO!! Reminder: It is against site policy to post links to illegal streams in the comments, but it is not against site policy to exchange email addresses, for instance.
