Kawhi Leonard looked good in his second game back, but the rest of the Spurs had a tough time against the Rockets as their superior guard play overwhelmed the Silver and Black in the first meeting between the clubs this year. Chris Paul got whatever he wanted all game long, and James Harden was able to get to the free throw line and get plenty of points whenever the Rockets needed them. In the final quarter, a young Spurs lineup showed some scoring punch as they cut into the lead late, but it was too little, too late as the Rockets won 124-109.
