WEDNESDAY, 2/23/05 – The loss of Bob Sura to the Rockets loomed even larger on Wednesday night as Houston fell apart in the fourth quarter in San Antonio, turning the ball over multiple times and unable to close a 5-point deficit heading into the final quarter. The Rockets got blown out in the fourth, losing 99-81.
Tony Parker absolutely destroyed the Rockets, getting into the lane for his patented teardrop shot and high off-the-glass layups to score 22 points on 10-of-16 shooting. He also picked the Rockets’ pockets for five steals and outshined the Houston Sura-less backcourt of Rod Strickland and Andre Barrett.
