San Antonio’s last three wins have been close ones (100-99 over Indiana and two OT victories over New Orleans and Minnesota), but if you were hoping for this recent string of nail-biters to end tonight, you might be out of luck. The Spurs and the visiting Rockets have played each other three times this year, and all the games decided by six points or less.
Tonight marks the last regular season meeting between two of the West’s top three teams, and it’s likely to involve a bit more MVP talk than any before it.
