San Antonio’s Offense: Awake!
March 31, 2008
Filed under: Rockets, Spurs, Houston
It’s just after halftime in the pivotal (for seeding purposes) Houston-San Antonio draw on ABC; the Spurs tossed up a shocking 66 points in the first half (to 48 for the Rockets). Of course, San Antonio is a good offensive team, but … 66 points on 43 possessions? Against the #2 defense in the league? That is mammoth.
This is a team, you’ll remember, who couldn’t muster more than five freaking points in an entire quarter against Atlanta just a month ago.
The Corpse of Michael Finley insists there is fuel in his reservoir; I remain skeptical, though this morning’s game (18 points in 17 minutes, as of this writing) could nudge my opinion to the opposite pole. San Antonio can take sole possession of The One Seed (at least temporarily) with a win; New Orleans (currently even-up with SAS) plays in Toronto later today.
UPDATE: The Spurs finished it out with a 21-point win, and 109 points on 85 possessions. Stellar, stellar work.
