In theory, a Spurs - Rockets game should be fun. Two young teams pushing the pace while budding stars try to show their worth should make for quality entertainment. Unfortunately, the reality didn’t live up to expectations on Sunday, at least for San Antonio fans. Too many rotation players were out for either caution or tanking purposes for the Silver and Black, which left Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson and a rag-tag group of fringe NBA guys and rookies fighting an uphill battle against one of the worst teams in the league in a 142-110 loss.
The start of the game saw the Spurs get ahead quickly, but the good stretch didn’t really last long.
