Important takeaways from Rockets’ preseason loss to the Spurs
Photo by Bob Levey/ With the preseason winding down, here’s what we learned about the Rockets after a loss to San Antonio. The San Antonio Spurs held a 17-point led midway through the third quarter when LaMarcus Aldridge caught the ball down in the low-post. With an undersized P.J.

If this was a regular-season game, Aldridge might have recorded 40 points, as the Rockets handed the Spurs their first win of the preseason in a 128-114 loss Wednesday night inside the Toyota Center in...

Five Questions: San Antonio Spurs
Photo by Joe Murphy/NBAE via The rivalry looks a bit...different. The Memphis Grizzlies have had a few rivals over the last decade as the team competed for playoff births. The Golden State Warriors and “Lob City” Los Angeles Clippers come to mind, but only one squad combines playoff series showdowns with divisional familiarity. The San Antonio Spurs. There have been plenty of battles between these two over the years, and while the Spurs more often than not got the best of the Grizzlies there was always a respect between the two franchises. San Antonio is arguably the best run...
