The Spurs struggled with two things in Game 4: transition defense and defending the Rockets’ small lineups .The Spurs will need more defensive intensity in Game 5.
Here, James Harden is not picked up in transition and gets an easy bucket.
Also, the Rockets were not able to contain the lineups in which Ryan Anderson was at center.
The Rockets simply had too many weapons on the perimeter and too much spacing for James Harden to operate.
How can they try to slow down the Rockets explosive offense?
For the spurs, giving up easy shots at the rim was a problem throughout the game.
