There is a certain level of consternation in the air, for both teams, when the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets square off on Saturday evening at the AT&T Center in the first meeting this season between the two Lone Star State rivals.
Both the Spurs and Rockets come into the contest after a loss -- San Antonio has actually dropped two straight -- and concerns over their respective offensive deficiencies.
San Antonio returns home after a 95-88 loss in Wednesday at Miami in which the Spurs shot only 33.3 percent from the field despite going 13 of 32 from 3-point range.
