Suddenly, the Houston Rockets are incapable of scoring 100 points. They were under the century mark for the fourth consecutive game and shot 32 percent collectively as a team to offset a solid defensive effort and fall to the San Antonio Spurs 96-89.
James Harden led the way with 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, but he was just 7-27 from the field and a downright ugly 1-13 from beyond the arc, and the Rockets had no one else step up. Chris Paul had just 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, in a full 40 minutes of action, and he shot just 4-13, missing numerous layups.
