Spurs Slip to Third
The Spurs have been hounded by injuries over the first half of the season, and the team that once had the best record in the NBA is now in third place following a tough loss to the Rockets. With the win, Houston moved into second place behind the surprising Hornets.
The night before it was the Cavs who did in the boys in black. San Antonio may have swept Cleveland in last year’s finals, but LeBron and company used solid defense and some untimely Spurs miscues to topple the champs. Tony Parker missed two free throws with less than a minute left that would have tied the game, and Manu Ginobili missed a three as the buzzer sounded that would have won it.
San Antonio has been struggling with injuries all season, and have just recently gotten everyone back. It may take another week to regain the lost chemistry, but look for San Antonio to go on a winning streak sometime soon.
