NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
The Houston Rockets took a half game lead in the Southwest Division and a two game lead in the win column over the San Antonio Spurs.
Houston 87 San Antonio 85
Ok, tell the truth, when asked about the Spurs, Rockets, Hornets, and Mavericks going into this season, just how much time did you spend bragging up the Rockets? Tell the truth.
Yao Ming wills the Rockets to victory over the Spurs
There might not have been a better way to move past the Spurs and into first place in the division, than the Rockets found on Sunday, running two plays in the last half minute to layups and stopping Tony Parker’s attempt for the lead in the final seconds to shock the Spurs, 87-85, Sunday at AT&T Center.
With the Spurs leading in the last minute, the Rockets twice ran high screens with Yao Ming, forcing the Spurs to rotate so that Yao could fire passes inside to Luis Scola for layups, the second with 11.2 seconds left for a one-point Houston lead.
“I just cut down the lane,” Scola, who had 19 points and 17 rebounds. “I was wide open both times.”
