The Spurs escaped Houston Saturday night with a 106-100 win over the Rockets and improved to 7-3 on the year, but the victory went deeper.
Spurs have won their first 5 road games for just the third time in franchise history. Started 7-0 on the road in 2006-07 and 8-0 in 2010-11.

It’s worth mentioning that 2006-2007 was a championship year.
2011, on the other hand, saw the top-ranked Spurs lose in the first round of the playoffs to the Memphis Grizzlies.
As for the Spurs’ red-hot start on the road this season, Kawhi Leonard has been crucial.
