On October 29, the NBA regular season continued, with the San Antonio Spurs losing 101-109 to the Houston Rockets at home, failing to secure a winning streak.
The Spurs started the game with a sluggish performance, scoring only 15 points in the first quarter, which put them in a difficult position as they were completely dominated by the Rockets. By halftime, they trailed by 17 points. In the second half, the Spurs showed signs of revival and began to fight back. A 11-1 run in the fourth quarter brought the deficit down to just 2 points, but unfortunately, they failed to capitalize on their momentum and ultimately lost the game.
This time, Paul had a better performance, scoring 10 points alone in the second quarter and hitting a 3+1 in the fourth quarter that gave the team a glimmer of hope, though it wasn’t enough to turn the tide. Paul played for 28 minutes, making 5 of 10 shots, including 3 of 4 from three-point range, finishing with 16 points and 3 assists.
Wembanyama struggled offensively again, playing 35 minutes and shooting 6 of 14 from the field, including 1 of 5 from three-point range. He recorded 14 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 blocks, but also committed 4 turnovers. Despite his impressive stats, he couldn’t contribute much to the team’s effort.
