After all of their road struggles earlier this season, the Spurs needed to reclaim their home court.
It wasn’t always pretty, but San Antonio persevered for 101-95 overtime victory Wednesday night over Houston.
In the process, the Spurs overcame an early 12-point deficit in one of their most spirited efforts of the season.
Here are some of the numbers that helped explain why the Spurs again won at home.
6 – Rebounds for Kawhi Leonard in the fourth quarter and overtime. He grabbed four in overtime.
7-0 — Difference in fouls in overtime. Houston committed seven, the Spurs none.
11 — Consecutive possessions that Houston scored during San Antonio’s defensive struggles late in the first quarter.
20.0 – Houston and San Antonio’s shooting percentage in overtime. Like Kevin Martin said after the game, the offensive struggles deserved the tag of “lockout ball.”
28 — Tony Parker’s point total — highest by a Spurs player this season.
45:18 – Parker’s playing time — most in a game since he played 47:44 on Dec. 27, 2008.
65.0 — Houston’s shooting percentage in the first quarter.
