Last night, in their first playoff meeting since 1995, the Houston Rockets knocked off the San Antonio Spurs on their home floor. It wasn't a pretty sight for Spurs fans, either.
Through one quarter, the Rockets counted up 34 points to the Spurs' 23. According to Basketball Reference, this was just the fourth time since 2008 that the Spurs allowed at least 34 points in an opening quarter of a playoff game.
The second quarter wasn't any better -- actually it was worse. In the next 12 minutes of play, Houston scored 35 points as they got out to a 69-39 advantage going into halftime.
