The San Antonio Spurs humiliated the hapless Houston Rockets, 131-106, as they jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Although their interstate rival has been one of the worst teams in the league, this victory could be a huge confidence booster as they tackle the Rodeo Road Trip.
Keldon Johnson paced the Silver and Black with a season-high 28 points to go with seven rebounds and two steals. Jakob Poeltl had 21 points, ten boards, and three blocks. Dejounte Murray and Doug McDermott notched 19 points apiece. Josh Christopher led the Rockets with a career-high 23 points.
