Thu Feb 27 01:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Rockets and Spurs Face Off in Houston After Recent Ups and Downs

**Houston, TX** – The Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs will clash at the Frost Bank Center in Houston on Wednesday night in a back-to-back game for both teams. The matchup pits a Rockets team sliding slightly after a recent hot streak against a Spurs team struggling near the bottom of the Western Conference.

The Rockets, currently the fifth seed in the West, enter the game after a 100-97 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Despite a less-than-stellar 40.7% field goal percentage, Jalen Green led the Rockets with 25 points, while Alperen Sengun contributed a strong 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. However, their recent 4-8 run has tempered their earlier success.

The Spurs, on the other hand, are fighting an uphill battle. Their season took a turn for the worse with Victor Wembanyama’s season-ending injury, leaving them in 13th place. Their last game resulted in a 109-103 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, despite impressive performances from De’Aaron Fox (15 points, 9 assists, 6 steals), Chris Paul (12 points, 12 assists), and Devin Vassell (20 points).

These teams have a recent history, having played three times in a two-week span earlier this season, with the Rockets winning two of those matchups. Wednesday’s game promises a compelling contest between two teams with contrasting fortunes and playoff aspirations. The game can be streamed live on Fubo (regional restrictions may apply).
