That was a good ol’ fashioned butt-whoopin’ that the Houston Rockets handed the San Antonio Spurs to get this second-round series started.
Besides Kawhi Leonard’s jumper to give the Spurs a 2-0 lead in the game’s first possession nothing went right for the home team. A lob from Trevor Ariza to Clint Capela tied the game up before James Harden hit Houston’s first three of the game to give the Rockets a 5-2 lead. Houston would hit 21 more threes as they built a lead as big as 37 in the game.
