Houston Rockets' K.J. Martin dunks during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the San Antonio Spurs, Saturday, March 4, 2023, in San Antonio. SAN ANTONIO — The Rockets had the long-sought win in their sights from the opening minutes. Really, they probably began their weekend showdown series with the Spurs looking to end the losing streak before they pounced from the start and felt as if this could be the one.The Rockets decided it was time to snap theirs at 11.
With everything that had dropped the longtime rivals to the bottom of the Western Conference, and the Rockets to the league’s worst record, that was the only goal. Every Rockets starter was in double figures with center Alperen Sengun getting 16 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. But the Rockets also got a huge lift off the bench, with Tari Eason scoring 20 points to match his career high, Josh Christopher adding 14 and Usman Garuba making all three of his shots to score 11 in nine minutes.
That was how much of Saturday’s game went. Through three quarters, the Rockets were outshooting the Spurs, 55.9 percent to 48.4 percent. But the Spurs had 14 3-pointers, the Rockets six.
