It’s Time for Basketball: Spurs vs Houston Rockets
The Spurs aim to get back on track with a win against a tough opponent in their first NBA Cup game this season. After a challenging match where their best player and two key teammates fouled out, the Spurs still managed to push the game toward overtime in the opponent’s arena—a feat that would have been seen as a moral victory last year.
However, this season’s Spurs squad is targeting the playoffs and understands that moral victories don’t impact the standings.
"You lose more from failure than from success, which is self-evidently true. But in 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, focused and ready to compete.
