Houston ruined the day for San Antonio with a 125-94 blowout. In a pregame interview, San Antonio coach Bob was optimistic about his team's chances. "We've made some mistakes lately, but if everyone does what they are supposed to we can beat Houston. Don't get me wrong, Bob has built a good team and there's a reason they're the favorites. But we're just as good if we stop making our mental mistakes." Said San Antonio star Freeman, "Coach is right. We've done some reworking of our talent and our game plan, and we've got what it takes to play with Houston."

Those predictions turned out to be wishful thinking, as Bob and his team will go back to the drawing boards after getting shredded in today's game.

Houston was led by Hurd (15 points, 14 assists, 3 steals), Evans (14 points, 7 assists, a steal, 3 blocks), Lewis (25 points, 2 assists, a steal). San Antonio was led by Freeman (26 points), Worthy (11 points), Owens (16 points, 5 blocks).
