The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Houston Rockets, 112 - 110, Monday at AT & T Center. The game did n't take long to get out of hand, as the Rockets (44 - 20) opened up a 16 - point lead in the first quarter and looked to be well on their way to a big road victory. Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs (49 - 13), however, had different plans. San Antonio slowly chipped away at the lead over the next three quarters. In the end, it was a sequence that included a go - ahead three - pointer, a block on a James Harden layup and a pair of game - clinching free throws, all from Leonard, that ended Monday's contest. Leonard finished with a team - high 39 points on an impressive 12 - of - 18 shooting from the field to go along with six rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes. Additionally, what was key for the Spurs was Tony Parker's ability to slip out of a funk, as after three straight games in single digits, Parker finished with 19 points, six rebounds and three assists. As for Houston, James Harden was once again sensational, scoring 39 points on 12 - of - 20 shooting from the field and dishing out a game - high 12 assists in 36 minutes. In contrast, Lou Williams had a dreadful night from the field, hitting just 1 - of - 10 shots en route to scoring five points, and the favorite to win Sixth Man of the Year has now had three straight games where he has failed to score in double figures. In the end, five Rockets players managed to score in double figures, but it was n't enough to end the Spurs' seven - game win streak. Up next, San Antonio will look to extend their streak to nine games against the Kings on Wednesday, while the Rockets will look to bounce back against the Jazz at home Wednesday.
