In this story:

The San Antonio Spurs look to avoid being on the wrong side of history tonight when they visit the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center.

The Spurs have lost 16 straight games dating back to Nov. 2 and another defeat tonight would mark the longest losing streak in franchise history.

They have a tough task tonight against the rebuilt Rockets, who haven't lost in Houston since late October. The Rockets have won nine straight games at home and are also coming off a big win on the road against the defending champion Denver Nuggets. They also could see the return of No. 4 overall pick Amen Thompson, who has been out since Nov. 1 with an ankle injury.

One of the Spurs' wins this year came against the Rockets in the second game of the season, so if San Antonio can pull and feed off some of that energy it had in that overtime win back in October, maybe the team can get back to winning.
