Two superstars at the height of their games -- San Antonio's LaMarcus Aldridge and Houston's James Harden -- will be on display on Thursday when the Spurs and Rockets clash at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
Thursday's game is just the second time the teams have played this season, with two more meetings -- March 12 in San Antonio and April 1 in Houston -- still to come.
The Rockets dominated San Antonio in a 124-109 win on Dec. 15 in Space City, leading from start to finish as both Chris Paul and Harden scored 28 points for Houston to more than balance out the 16 points in the game for Aldridge, who paced San Antonio.
