Great win. Fouling J-Smith turned out to be an amazing strategy.

I knew Houston picking up Josh Smith was going to help us sooner or later.....
I watched the game in a bar so I didn't get to hear the Houston announcers that everyone is going on about. Manu almost gave the game away but we survived. Timmy made a great block that was in no way a foul but I was still shocked that it wasn't called in Houston. Since we had no sound in the bar I figured it was a foul and turned away to watch something else, then my buddy told me it was over. Great regular season win.

Actually, the NBA puts out official reviews of all calls in the final two minutes:

Ginobili was fouled but not called, so didn't really "give the game away". Duncan was ruled a clean no call. Drexler shouldn't be allowed to call games, he's awful.

I know what you're saying and I LOVE Manu. But even though they may have made a bad call, he was extremely careless with the basketball on that play at that time of the game IMO.

Yeah, they say Sean Elliott was awful.. I'm not saying he's not, but Drexler provides nothing in his commentary. He's just constantly yapping. Sean is a homer, which most home team announcers are, but he does break down plays and provides insight.

Also it's funny how all the Rockets fans are now complaining about Hack-A-Somebody. Look at the posts on the General Board. I mean.. LOL.

They mad.
