As everyone expected, The Spurs bounced back in the 2nd Game in San Antonio.
Simply put, the Rockets 3 ball just wasn't falling like it was in Game 1. The Spurs slowed it down to a speed they were comfortable with.
Harden 3-16......missed 13 shots = Popovich put Kawhi on Harden because he's his best defender. "It's not rocket science." pun unintentional???
Harden asked about the challenge that facing Leonard defensively poses for him - Harden shakes his head & says, "I just missed layups"
Harden had a bunch of assists, but all of his pass looks were to the rim, Spurs collapsed and he didn’t make them pay for it kicking out.
D'Antoni said Harden tweaked a hip, but said it was not an issue. "He's fine."
"The hustle game was the difference, offensive rebounds, loose balls. We didn't get as many stops as we needed," Ryan Anderson.
Leonard helping out way more off the corner than in Game 1
However, one of the postseason GREATS suffered a season (possible career) ending injury:
Manu said even after he spoke with Tony, he still couldn't put weight on the leg.
Pop on Parker's injury: "It's not good."
Game 3 TONIGHT in Houston
