Reeling Spurs hit with bad news on the injury front: Charles Bassey is out for the season after tearing his left ACL on G League assignment with Austin.
Spurs just announced Charles Bassey suffered a torn ACL late in his G-League appearance on Sunday. He will miss the remainder of the season. Makes one quick trip to Austin and goes down in the process during a 30-pt, 13-reb, 5-ast, 4-blk performance. That’s just brutal. https://t.co/7Vc6GMqiWU

I think we can all agree that this is the Pistons main goal this season https://t.co/4jPdAjOXXA
I don’t quite know what to say anymore. The Spurs’ process has been mostly good for a while now. It’s just like, you gotta hit open shots. You gotta cut down on avoidable turnovers. You gotta avoid the rushed looks. You gotta hit free throws. They've been playing well otherwise.
The Rockets turned the ball over 16 times and the Spurs scored just 4 points off those turnovers. 0.25 points per turnover for San Antonio, also a season low
As expected, a lot of season lows on offense tonight for San Antonio: 15 points from 3PT 12% accuracy from 3PT 20 assists 82 points
Despite making that late three, the Spurs' shooting from 3PT will be logged as the worst of the season. 5 of 41 for 12.2% accuracy
The Spurs' lowest shooting night from three this season was 22% @ MIN. With 3 mins left, the Spurs are shooting 11% tonight @ Houston
Entering crunch time: Rockets 3-6 (24th) Spurs 3-9 (27th)
3Q: Rockets by 7. HOU takes the 3Q 18-15. Even worse offense than the 1Q for both teams. Wemby 13 pts, 13 reb, 5 blk Keldon 12 pts Branham 11 pts Vassell 10 pts Jeff Green 12 pts Sengun 11 pts FVV 10 pts Spurs +14 on 2s Rockets +15 on 3s and +6 from FT line
Spurs down 7 heading into the 4th. Manageable deficit, but can’t seem to get over the hump in this one at all
Going out on a limb here: Spurs are gonna need to do better than 3-for-22 from 3 to win this game. Once again missing a bunch of good looks.
Half: Rockets by 4. HOU takes 2Q 32-26. Branham 11 pts Wemby 7 pts, 6 reb, 4 blk Jeff Green 12 pts FVV 10 pts Spurs +6 on 2s Rockets +7 on FTs and +3 on 3s
1Q: Spurs by 2. NO OFFENSE ALLOWED with the Spurs outscoring HOU 21-19. Wemby 5 pts, 5 reb, 2 blk Branham 5 pts Cedi 5 pts FVV 5 pts Spurs +4 on 2s Rockets +2 from FT line
