Road-weary and eager to get home, the San Antonio Spurs spoke before Saturday night's game about the importance of maintaining focus in the finale of their season-long road trip against the Houston Rockets.
They were able to do that, never trailing in a 104-94 win that let them tie the mark as the seventh-fastest team in NBA history to reach 50 wins.
Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 26 to give San Antonio a 7-1 record on their annual "Rodeo Road Trip" that coincides with the San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo. They also extended their NBA record of straight 50-win seasons to 17.
