It’s Time for Basketball: Spurs vs Houston Rockets
The Spurs aim to return to winning ways as they face a strong opponent in their first NBA Cup game of the season. Despite setbacks, including their best player fouling out alongside two key teammates, the Spurs managed to push the game toward overtime with just seconds left on the clock in the opponent’s arena.
While such a result might have been considered a moral victory in previous seasons, this year’s Spurs team is focused squarely on the playoffs, understanding that moral victories do not impact the standings.
"You lose more from failure than from success, but in losing, there is learning. You have to fall flat on your face sometimes when you’re learning to run. It hurts, which motivates you not to do it that way again."
Tonight, the Spurs return home to face the Houston Rockets in their opening NBA Cup match of the current season.
