The Rockets showcased their dominance throughout the game, leading 64-36 at halftime and maintaining control until the final buzzer. Amen Thompson was the standout performer for Houston, scoring 25 points, securing 9 rebounds, and providing 5 assists, complemented by 2 blocks. Jalen Green also made significant contributions with 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Alperen Sengun added a solid 9 points and 11 rebounds in just 19 minutes of action.

The Spurs struggled offensively, with none of their starters reaching double digits in scoring.

Jeremy Sochan`s early exit due to a head injury further hampered San Antonio`s efforts.
