Houston suffered the law of San Antonio on Wednesday in the NBA. Clint Capela and the Rockets lost 111-99 to the Spurs, after being up to 16 lengths ahead.
The Rockets, who led 59-43 with 3’22 left in the second quarter, ended up folding in the final period. The Spurs started with an 11-0 run which allowed them to increase the score from 84-86 to 95-86. They then managed this advantage perfectly.
Author of 9 of the 11 points scored by his team during this decisive match, Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs to victory. The 2m24 French pivot scored 13 of his 28 points during the last quarter. He also recorded 16 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 assists and 2 steals.
The Rockets, who had perfectly contained the French eight days earlier to win 111-106 against San Antonio, seemed powerless in the ‘money time’. The absence of interior rough Steven Adams, injured in an ankle and absent until the end of the season, certainly weighed in the balance.
Less solid than the New Zealander defensively, Clint Capela was only allowed 9 minutes of play on Wednesday, accumulating 5 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks. The starting pivot Alperen Sengun managed 18 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists for Houston, which remains 4th in the Western Conference despite this defeat.
