Houston Rockets vs. San Antonio Spurs Game Preview
Your go-to source for Houston Rockets news, rumors, analysis, stats, and scores from the fan perspective. Tonight marks the start of a new chapter as the Rockets aim to win the NBA Championship.
Last season, Houston showed the league they had left their struggles behind. A key highlight was winning their NBA Cup group early with a crucial victory on Minnesota's neon green court, securing the spot with a game to spare. Although the Sacramento Kings made 15 consecutive shots on the final day, Houston managed to clinch a home game in the knockout rounds. This advantage helped them finally defeat the Golden State Warriors, something they hadn’t done in four years.
Despite losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the semifinals, the experience was pivotal for Houston's young players, many of whom had never played in high-stakes games before.
Looking Ahead: The San Antonio Spurs Challenge
If any team could replicate last year’s Rockets' progress, it’s the Spurs. Houston did not have Victor Wembanyama—currently the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year if the season ended today—or Stephon Castle, last season’s Rookie of the Year.
De’Aaron Fox and Luke Kornet remain game-time decisions, but Rockets fans can expect at least one of them to play tonight. Unfortunately, Dylan Harper will be out despite his recent strong performances.
"There were obviously several moments last year where Houston announced to the league that they were done being bad."
"Houston was able to secure a home game in the knockout stages, which allowed them to finally knock the Golden State Warriors off for the first time in four years."
Both teams will look to make their mark early this season, setting the tone for what promises to be a thrilling matchup.
Author's summary: The Houston Rockets begin a hopeful quest for the NBA title, building on last season’s breakthroughs, while facing a strong Spurs team eager to match their success.
