San Antonio pulled off the upset, beating Houston in a game where nobody gave them much of a chance. Their prospects certainly looked bleak on paper, with most predictions giving Houston a solid win thanks to better skill at most positions. But head coach Bob came up with a marvelous game plan and kept Houston coach Bob guessing most of the game. This, as well as a number of solid performances by Williams and others, gave San Antonio the edge they needed to come out on top. "I think we caught them by surprise," said Bob after the game. "They played like they expected the win to be handed to them, but we made some adjustments after studying their tendencies and it paid off."

San Antonio was led by Williams (23 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, a steal, 4 blocks), Meyers (21 points, 10 boards, 1 assists), Thompson (23 points, 2 blocks). Houston was led by Vigil (8 points, 14 assists, 4 steals), White (14 points, 8 boards, 1 assists, 2 steals, a block), Sims (17 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, a block).

With today's win, San Antonio are now 8-10 and 6-3 at home. They hold at #3 in the Southwest and improve to #10 overall in the Western Conference. Houston broke their tear at 5 games, and drop to 13-4. They fall to #2 in the Southwest and drop to #4 overall in the Western Conference.
