Spurs are on a 12-game losing streak, and if they haven't made any changes, their team will set a franchise all-time record. Wembanyama's consistent performance is crucial.
Spurs played well in the opening stages, especially in Wembanyama's penalty area, where they won by 11 points. Although the Rockets did not contain Wembanyama, and Capela was poor defensively, Wembanyama's consecutive goals, especially a three-pointer, increased the team's confidence.
In the second quarter, the Rockets made a purposeful defense that hampered Wembanyama's offense and stalled the Spurs' offense. Wembanyama's offensive encountered a difficulty, and Sochan stepped up and scored six points to stabilize the situation. Trae Young went on the offensive again, and Vassell hit a step-back layup to help the Spurs keep the score above four points.
Wembanyama was substituted and the Rockets began their offense, but they didn't score as efficiently. Spurs began looking for opportunities on the perimeter, extending the score to seven with a 3-pointer. The Rockets' offense didn't work, and Schneider was sent off for a technical foul.
Trae Young played well, scoring 12 points on his own and chasing the score to four. In the third quarter, Trae Young scored more than 20 points in a single quarter, while the rest of the Spurs' shooting also declined. The Rockets seized the opportunity and completed the comeback with a 9-0 run.
Spurs struggled to catch up, with Wembanyama and Sochan scoring goals in quick succession to salvage a draw for the team. But Trae Young teamed up with the Rockets to complete a ** that eventually turned the game around. In the end, with Trae Young at the side, the Rockets ended San Antonio's 13-game loss.
