By Jose Grijalva, Project Spurs.comIf you love an up tempo high scoring game, you'd love the highlights to the third game of four meetings between the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets. If you believe in defense first, then this wasn't the game for you.
The Spurs were once seen as a defensive juggernaut that wanted the final score to be in the low 80s if possible, but this year it's the opposite.
The Spurs are scoring more while still defending, especially defending better than last year. Last night's game didn't show that though.
The Spurs came out firing with a 41 point first quarter then saw the Rockets come back with a vengeance in their own run, 36 points in the second quarter.
While some Spurs games have ended with the final scores being over 110 points for their opponents, it's mostly been during garbage time and the third string players on the court while the main core rotational players rested.
