The Spurs have had four games this year with 6 free throw attempts or fewer, tied for the most by a team in a season ever according to the Rockets' information folks.

How the do you score 134 without a single player getting 20?
yet they're a top five paint scoring team in the NBA
NBA not even trying to hide their disdain for San Antonio
Holy , only 6 free throw attemps?
Early blowout and getting the starters legs fresh for tomorrow’s game
ESPN's influence rears its ugly head. They absolutely DESPISE San Antonio and the Spurs. I can't pinpoint exactly why, but I think it might be rooted in prejudice, and also because they hate Texas teams. ESPN hates Texas teams in general, but they REALLY have a disdain for San Antonio.
I watched and I didn’t really see any missed calls. The other night Spurs had 20 FT’s. And it’s a blowout and it’s not like the refs would start calling fouls in the fourth
ESPN has always hated the Spurs, but it went into overdrive when the FO failed to send Kawhi to Los Angeles. They campaigned for it ferociously and will never forgive.
Our guys shooting floaters and avoiding contact didn't help. In addition, our guys seldom fake and having basic handles also don't bait opponents into fouling.
Liked Landale and Young playing together at the end. Sick of these micro ball lineups.
why is Eubanks suddenly in front of Landale in the rotation? i mean showcasing Drew makes no sense ... nobody wants him anyway
Didn't watch the game. Were we good or rockets bad?
Rockets pretty bad. We are definitely a top 5 team in the Southwest though, just behind Memphis, Dalas and NO.
That’s what I’m wondering
This isn't terribly surprising tbh. The Spurs are dead last in FT/FGA (free throws divided by field goal attempts) at 0.146, and the league average has been declining for years; its current value of 0.185 is the lowest in league history (other than 1946-1947).

It's also hard to get a lot of free throws when the opponent just plays matador defense and doesn't touch you. (Caveat: I only watched part of the second half, were the refs allowing a lot of contact or were they just not fouling and giving up layups instead?)
One more win closer for Pop, but let's take everything else with a grain of salt...the Rockets are just better at not winning games than we are.
Lot of open layups and dunks, both in transition and the half-court. Hard to get fouled when there isn't a defender within 5 feet of you.

Extreme tanking by Houston as ordered?
it happened because Murray was stat padding
Homers just won't let go.
Fwiw, dude grabbed just 5 rebounds and we won by 30.
I think it has to do more with who we were playing then him only getting 5 rebounds. if he was trying to stat pad rebounds this would of been a good game for him to do it.
