James Harden led the way with 28 points and 11 assists while Ryan Anderson, Chris Paul, and Clint Capela each had key moments, allowing the Rockets (37-13) to cruise to a 102-91 win in San Antonio over the rival Spurs (34-20). - Anderson (13 points) scored in double figures for the third consecutive game for the first time since November, while Capela was instrumental in Houston's strong defensive performance with 13 rebounds and five blocks in his 35 minutes. - Paul (right groin soreness) returned after a one-game absence with 10 points in 30 gutty minutes, including a critical stretch of six in a row in the fourth quarter after San Antonio had cut the lead to 82-76. Eric Gordon (back) and Trevor Ariza (left hamstring) remained out, as expected. - Our postgame show breaks down all the key storylines, including the poise showed by Houston in controlling the game from the outset on the road and executing in the halfcourt against Gregg Popovich and one of the NBA's best defensive teams. - #Rockets #NBA #Spurs - Reminder: Thursday's show is sponsored by the MYBookie sportsbook.
