The Houston Rockets demolished the Spurs 126-99 in San Antonio on Monday with a record-breaking offensive display. The Spurs won three of four in the regular season against Houston, but the playoffs are clearly another matter.

Houston Rockets
The Rockets shot the Spurs out of the gym in Game 1 and essentially ended the game by halftime. Houston led San Antonio by 30 points at the half, and they never looked back.
Houston set a regular season record for three-pointers attempted and made this year, and they put on a ridiculous shooting display Monday. The Rockets attempted an NBA postseason record 50 three-pointers and made 22 of them.

Trevor Ariza led the Rockets in scoring in Game 1 with 23 points and going 5-10 from the three-point line. MVP candidate James Harden contributed 20 points, 14 assists and four steals in the win. Garbage time came early, and the entire Rockets bench got in on the scoring by the 4th quarter.
San Antonio Spurs
The team that showed up and was beaten down in Game 1 did not look like any San Antonio Spurs team we have ever seen. The 30-point deficit was the largest halftime deficit the franchise has ever faced in the postseason, and they were defeated early.
While Houston seemed unable to miss all night, the Spurs were incapable of consistently finding the basket. The Spurs shot 36.9 percent from the field, compared the Rockets’ 46 percent.

Free Game 2 Houston Rockets vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
This San Antonio team may not look like the Spurs of old, but it is still hard to imagine them losing twice in a row at home. It is also hard to imagine the Houston Rockets hitting 22 three-pointers in consecutive games.
4* Free NBA Game 2 Betting Pick: Spurs -5
The Spurs defense will show up in a big way after being embarrassed in Game 1, and they should get more offensive contributions from guys not named Leonard. The Rockets will still score in bunches, but the Spurs will pull ahead late.
