Down by two at the half, the Rockets took off in the third frame as they dropped a staggering 43 points to head into the final quarter with a 15-point advantage.

But then The Beard put the game on ice with his patented stepback 3-point dagger.
The reigning MVP finished with 39 points and 10 assists as the Spurs struggled to quell his influence on the contest.
