When San Antonio faced off against the Houston Rockets in a battle of two of the worst teams in the Western standings, the Spurs proved that the Rockets are worser. I’m not proud of that sentence, but it’s a long season and there’s not much to be proud of (unless you’re Stanley Johnson - more on him later).
With Keldon Johnson on the sidelines with a slight bruising of his tanking muscle, Devin Vassell started out the game on a tear, scoring or assisting on five of the team’s first six buckets to push them to a 10-point lead.
