AT&T CENTER – The San Antonio Spurs will make an adjustment to their starting lineup in game two against the Houston Rockets, as the Spurs will start center Pau Gasol at the 5, while the Spurs’ other starters will remain the same.
The Spurs had previously been starting David Lee at the 5, but, with San Antonio losing Game 1 by 27 points and that lineup posting a Net Rating of -60.4 Points Per 100 Possessions, it seems San Antonio is looking to find more spacing to open the game on offense, as the Spurs were held to eight points in the first six minutes in Game 1.
