Among those leading the charge was Alperen Sengun, who dropped a double-double on 25 points and 14 rebounds. What’s more, he also posted a 73.3% field goal percentage, which is the highest he’s posted since back in December of 2023.

Victor Wembanyama put forth a good effort for the losing side as he almost dropped a triple-double on 24 points, 13 rebounds, and nine blocks. He has become a key player for the Spurs: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least eight rebounds, but 1-3 otherwise.
Houston now has a winning record of 4-3. As for San Antonio, they now have a losing record at 3-4.
Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: The Rockets have crashing the boards this season, having averaged 47.6 rebounds per game.
