Rockets vs. Spurs: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report, More
HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets (9-20) will attempt to end their two-game losing skid Monday night against the San Antonio Spurs (9-20) inside the Toyota Center.
The last time the two parties played against each other, the Spurs recorded a 118-109 win over the Rockets. Jabari Smith Jr. scored a career-high 23 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field, 4-of-7 from behind the arc.
"He was great," coach Stephen Silas said. "When the ball was moving, he got good looks. When I put him at the five, he was able to get some pick-and-pops. He played a good game."
For the Rockets to avoid another disappointing loss to the Spurs, Houston must improve their ball movement and energy, which led to a 107-95 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Saturday night.
"We were playing streetball," Jalen Green said. "We were not playing together anymore. We did not have any fight."
