It’s Time for Basketball: Spurs vs Houston Rockets
The Spurs aim to return to winning form against a tough opponent in their first NBA Cup game. Despite challenges, the team showed resilience by nearly forcing overtime in the opponent’s arena.
"When your best player fouls out, along with two other key players, and you still have a chance to send the game into overtime with just a few seconds left... that would have been a moral victory last year."
However, this Spurs team is focused on securing a playoff spot, fully aware that moral victories do not impact the standings.
"You lose more from failure than from success, which is self-evidently true. But in the losing, there is learning. You have to fall flat on your face sometimes when you’re learning to run. It hurts, which is motivation not to do it that way again."
Tonight, the Spurs return home to face the Rockets in their first NBA Cup game of the season.
