Wanting to see his favorite team play in the playoffs, a Spurs fan flew all the way from Israel to Texas to be in attendance for Game 1 between San Antonio and Houston.

And while the Spurs fan likely expected to see his team protect their home court and win Game 1, quite the opposite happened on Monday.

Thanks to their accurate three-point shooting and fast paced offense, the Rockets jumped out to a double-digit lead rather quickly and even led by 30 points at various stages throughout the game. To put it simply, Game 1 was just a total domination by the Rockets and sadly for this Spurs fan, he flew all that way to see his team lose.

Perhaps the only redeeming aspect of his trip, is all the airline miles he racked up. At least he can use those miles for another trip. Like on a vacation that will help him forget about San Antonio's brutal Game 1 loss.
