Houston, Texas. Dec. 9, 2004. Mike Budenholzer still vividly remembers the end of his team's game that evening.
"I think I became frustrated with basketball in those 30 seconds. Whoever put this game together was not very fair to us," Budenholzer recalled. "I can almost go and show you on the court where he made the shots."
Budenholzer was then an assistant coach for the San Antonio. His Spurs held a 76-68 lead in the final minute of a game against the Houston Rockets until Tracy McGrady uncorked one of the most explosive scoring outbursts in NBA history.
