Kawhi Leonard had to leave the game early with an ankle injury and it was looking like a very tough game for the Spurs to win as the Rockets were playing with great poise and hit their shots. But the Silver and Black were able to keep pace late in the game by playing tough defense, even when they went cold from the field. They shut down the Rockets in overtime and Danny Green and Manu Ginobili made the plays late that sealed the game for the Spurs.
Danny Green started the scoring for the Spurs with a Tarheel Triple, but the Rockets quickly answered with a three from Patrick Beverley.
