SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (9-20) will face the Houston Rockets(9-20) on the road in Houston. Both teams are on a two-game losing skid.
GAME REWIND
The Spurs are coming off a 111-101 loss versus the Heat in Mexico City.
Keldon Johnson had 22 points and two rebounds to lead the team while Devin Vassell added 18 points. Tre Jones finished with nine points and nine assists while Zach Collins recorded 13 points off the bench.
“It’s a 48 minute game and we played pretty good defense for 36 [minutes] for three quarters,” Gregg Popovich said. “In the fourth quarter our defense went in the toilet and they [Heat] took advantage with their good three point shooting, their great movement that they do for Erik [Spoelstra] and our young guys did not keep up with that for the full 48 [minutes] and so they paid the price in the fourth quarter.”
