In what is surely an early candidate for Game of the Year, the Spurs came back from 22 points down in the 2nd half to steal a game from the Houston Rockets in double overtime. San Antonio was spearheaded by a 28 point breakout performance from sophomore guard Lonnie Walker IV, which included 19 in the 4th quarter alone and the triple that sent the game to its first overtime. Houston was led by James Harden with 50 points, but shot just 11/38 from the field and 4/20 from 3.
Observations
- The Spurs started the game with the same line-up for the 2nd straight game in a row.
