The San Antonio Spurs dominated the Houston Rockets 145–120 on March 8 at Frost Bank Center, surpassing the Vegas total of 223.5 with an offensive clinic. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 29 points, while Spur Castle added 23 in a balanced attack that featured 38 assists and a blistering 58% field-goal percentage. San Antonio's three-point barrage proved decisive—they knocked down 21 threes compared to Houston's 8—and controlled the third quarter with a 41-point outburst to put the game away. Kevin Durant and Alperen Şengün each scored 23 for Houston, but the Rockets' 48.3% shooting and 12 turnovers proved insufficient against San Antonio's 143.7 offensive rating and stifling 114.2 defensive rating. The Spurs' depth and ball movement overwhelmed a Rockets team that managed only 25 assists despite grabbing 37 rebounds. This victory underscores San Antonio's growing chemistry and defensive identity as a contender in the Western Conference standings.
