Yeah, that was disheartening to see the Spurs close out like that after coming within 1 point. Time for Super-Harden.

Outside of those four in a row the Rockets just can't hit anything. Awful shooting. Ryno 1-10 and Harden can't hit an open jumper.

Outside of the first quarter the Spurs defense really hasn't been very good. Rockets got loads of open threes

We need a 13pts in 33 seconds performance.

Feels weird to complain about the Rockets missing good looks after that fourth but they shot 31% on 45 threes when most of them were wide open and I felt they passed on too many open threes as well. If Ryno has just an average game for him we win that game. 1-7 from three when you don't do much else won't cut it

Tough loss, only because the Rockets did have their moments.

The Spurs may have just published the book on how to beat Houston this season. Granted, the result would have been better if a few more of those threes would have fallen.

I'm not sure why Gordon wasn't involved in the offense the last few plays. He was the hot hand.

Triple Double for Harden - two games in a row against San Antonio!

Whatever do you mean by that? Imo if Ryno has an average game and they probably win. Their three point defense outside of the last few minutes was rather bad, Rockets just missed

Probably trying to play brewer so someone might be interested in trading for him. He started the first few games ok.
