That means if things do go all the way, the Spurs should have the advantage. However, the Rockets already have two wins in San Antonio so far this year, so they will not be fazed by the task at hand.
However, the Spurs will come into Game 5 confident that they are in the better position to progress. If they can win at home tonight they can travel to Houston for Game 6 knowing they can end things there and then. They have won in Houston three times this year already, and so know they have what it takes to get an all important road win if needed.
