After a successful home stint, we're back on the road for a cross-state tilt in this first of three upcoming road games. Mental approach and physical follow through to bring our home approach with us and continue our solid, resilient two-way play are our keystones for success.

WHERE: Toyota Center, Houston, TX

WHEN: Tuesday, March 5, 2024, 7pm (CT)



GO SPURS GO!!!

We have to get the ball in quicker to Wemby. We're too deliberate looking for the perfect pass while he's banging in the post.

Good ball movement to find the right corner shot. WE missed but it was wide open.

When we pick up the pace and aren't so molasses slow and deliberate in the half court O we do well finding each other.

Too easy penetration into our rim.

We're being covered aggressively and trap blitz doubled and so when we fake we give the D that extra split second to recover and drape us with coverage.

WE have to get ahead with passes.

Crafty Tre with the reverse finish.

Collins terrific high low alley oop pass to Devin for the dunk.

Collins loses the ball in a spin attempt and **** bends forward in disappointment. Terrible body language.

**** RUN BACK ON D after your mistake.

Cost us a bucket.

Our O is **** molasses.

"Wide open at the foul line they didn't even bother defending him. He could have even stepped in more..." yeah how's that sag D going, mate? ffs...

Keldon terrific hustle to push the ball whie falling to Cedi to keep our possession. Cedi J.

Collins doubled, passes out, we swing extra pass for a Branham 3. Good job.

1ST Q: SPURS 21 ROCKETS 26

We started well early on the strength of Wemby two-way impact, but our 6-point lead evaporated with a 20-8 (I think) run against.

Our O is stuttering and sputtering as we're not makign quick decisions against an aggressive D with blitz trap doubles.

When we run we can get behind the D and get some points but we're too slow to read and react and make the crisp plays.

4TOs already. Have to keep these down. It's likely that we don't want to make mistakes and it forces us into more difficult shots. Overdribbling...

We looking like we're in the middle of a long road trip for some reason. Any time we want to start playing with some urgency that would be great.

Keldon terrific patience and cut for the Blake pass and layup.

One pass, Keldon 3. Nice and simple to beat the D.

Branham to Wemby for another top of arc 3.

He did hav Cedi to his right just before that, something to be aware of, but Wemby's always a good option.

10-2 start to the 2ND Q. Much better effort and focus and decisions and execution.

Blake was terrific defending the P&R staying with his man, keeping his hands up to prevent a pass in side from behind him. Forced another option.

Good thing there is a backboard to stop Blake's 3 from sailing away... oof...

TOO EASY AT OUR RIM.
