The Spurs did what they needed to do, and Kawhi Leonard’s MVP-caliber performance of offensive dominance and shutting down the best player on the Rockets was what they needed to even the series. The whole team played with intensity and purpose, following the lead of their star player. But the big concern for the Spurs for the rest of the series is going to be the health of Tony Parker, who left the game in the fourth quarter with a possible knee injury. It will be interesting to see what Pop is going to do to keep his team in games without his second best player.
