San Antonio continued its strong run with a convincing 145-120 win against Houston, recording a fourth consecutive victory. The result was driven by productive performances from Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox, while several teammates also contributed to the team’s high offensive output.

Victor Wembanyama led the scoring effort with 29 points. The forward demonstrated efficiency and versatility, converting nine of thirteen field goal attempts. Early in the game he set the tone with a three-point shot from a distance of 26 feet. During the matchup he also completed a reverse dunk through contact that resulted in a three-point play.

De'Aaron Fox played a key role in organizing the offense. He finished the game with 20 points and delivered 10 assists, consistently facilitating ball movement and maintaining the pace that allowed San Antonio to control the contest.

Additional scoring support came from Stephon Castle, who added 23 points. Keldon Johnson also reached the 20-point mark, helping maintain the team’s scoring pressure throughout the game.

San Antonio established an early advantage. Midway through the first quarter the team had already built a lead of more than ten points. Houston briefly moved ahead twice, holding narrow leads at 27-26 and 33-32, but the momentum quickly shifted back. San Antonio regained control with consistent shooting and interior presence.

By the third quarter the gap had widened significantly, with San Antonio leading 83-61. Wembanyama’s scoring inside the paint and from the perimeter contributed heavily to that stretch.

The overall offensive performance was reflected in several team statistics. San Antonio recorded 38 assists, demonstrating effective ball distribution. The team converted 58 percent of its field goal attempts, the highest mark of the season, and achieved 53 percent accuracy from three-point range, making 21 of 40 attempts.

Houston struggled on the defensive end. The team allowed its highest point total of the season and conceded 56 points in the paint, also a season high. Despite the loss, Kevin Durant and Amen Thompson each scored 23 points to lead Houston’s offense, but their efforts were not enough to offset San Antonio’s efficiency.

The victory improved San Antonio’s record to 47-17. It also secured a 3-1 advantage in the season series between the two teams and strengthened San Antonio’s position in the Western Conference standings, where the team holds the second seed.

Houston’s record fell to 39-24 following the defeat. The team moved into fourth place in the Western Conference standings, positioned half a game behind Minnesota and trailing San Antonio by seven losses.

Both teams return to action the following day. San Antonio will host Boston, while Houston is scheduled to play at home against Toronto.

The result also extended San Antonio’s recent run of form, with the team winning 15 of its last 16 games. Consistent scoring from multiple players and effective offensive organization have contributed to this stretch as the regular season approaches its final stage.
