Fred VanVleet had twenty-one points as the Rockets won against the Spurs Tuesday night. Also, the team held Victor Wembanyama in check to come up with the 103-101 victory. After Wembanyama missed a three-point attempt, San Antonio’s Jeremy Sochan converted a three-point play with 19 seconds left to trim the lead to 99-98. However, from the free throw line on, Houston maintained a lead.
In the Western Conference, Houston sits in tenth place, five games behind Golden State, after winning four consecutive away games. According to basketball betting sites, the slow start did not deter Wembanyama. Thus, he ended with 13 points, ten boards, and six assists.
Houston used small defenders like Brooks and Jae’Sean Tate to double- and triple-team Wembanyama, who ended with five field goals. Losing their fourth game in a row, San Antonio was led by 22 points from Tre Jones and 21 from Sochan. With a record of 14-52, San Antonio needs a winning season to avoid tying the franchise’s worst record from 1997, which was 20-62.
Rockets Won Against the Spurs
Seven players scored double figures for the Rockets, led by Jalen Green’s 16 and Jabari Smith Jr.’s 15. Without Alperen Sengun, the Rockets lost 114-101 against the Spurs on March 5. Sengun scored a game-high 45 points, five blocks, and sixteen rebounds. After hurting his right ankle and knee in Saturday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, Sengun will be sidelined for the rest of the season.
Jones made four 3-pointers in the first half, matching a career record. He was restricted to only six points in the second half and finished with four three-pointers out of seven.
Due to Keldon Johnson’s absence due to stomach sickness and Wembanyama and Devin Vassell’s off nights, Jones’ production was crucial. Leading scorers Wembanyama and Vassell got two points with two minutes left in the third quarter, bringing the team’s total to seven points. Wembanyama scored eleven points in the game’s last fourteen minutes, while Vassell scored five. Did you bet on the game?
