Houston Rockets vs. San Antonio Spurs Game Preview
Your top source for Houston Rockets news, rumors, analysis, stats, and scores from a fan’s perspective.
Rockets’ Journey and Recent Success
Tonight marks the start of a new chapter as the Houston Rockets aim to win the NBA Cup. Last season, the Rockets showed they were no longer a struggling team. A key moment was winning their NBA Cup group, securing the spot with one game remaining on the neon green court in Minnesota. Despite some tension on the final day when the Sacramento Kings made 15 consecutive shots, Houston earned a home game in the knockout rounds. This allowed them to finally defeat the Golden State Warriors for the first time in four years.
“Even with a loss in the semifinals to the Thunder, it was a big moment for the Rockets and their young players who had not played in meaningful games during their early NBA careers.”
San Antonio Spurs' Potential
The San Antonio Spurs could be the team this year to replicate last season’s Rockets’ success. Houston did not face Victor Wembanyama—the current MVP and Defensive Player of the Year contender—nor Stephon Castle, last season’s Rookie of the Year.
Player Availability
- De’Aaron Fox and Luke Kornet are uncertain for tonight’s game, but Rockets fans remain hopeful that at least one will play.
- Dylan Harper is out, which is unfortunate considering his strong recent performances.
Both teams bring intriguing matchups as the season progresses, with young talent ready to make an impact.
