HOUSTON — Stephen Silas knew going into game against the San Antonio Spurs things would be different for the Houston Rockets.
When the Rockets defeated the Spurs to begin a successful five-game road trip on Jan. 12, San Antonio had several players missing due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Nearly two weeks to the day the Rockets opened their four-game regular-season series with a win in San Antonio, the Spurs, now completely healthy, got their revenge as Houston sustained a 134-104 loss Tuesday night.
By dropping their second consecutive game, the Rockets fell to 14-34 on the season amid opening their four-game homestand on an erroneous note.
