HOUSTON (AP) — Tari Eason had a season-high 18 points and 14 rebounds off the bench as the Houston Rockets beat San Antonio 93-82 on Monday night and dealt the Spurs their franchise-record 17th consecutive loss.
Top overall pick Victor Wembanyama had 15 points, 18 rebounds and five blocks, along with an overpowering dunk over Houston’s Alperen Sengun in the third period, but it wasn’t enough to get the Spurs back in the win column.
San Antonio hasn’t won since a 132-121 victory over Phoenix on Nov. 2.
The Rockets won their 10th straight home game and third in a row overall.
