The San Antonio Spurs ( 53 - 26 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 53 - 25 ) 110 - 98 on Wednesday in San Antonio . The Spurs are starting to look like the defending NBA champions , as they are now winners of nine straight games and 12 of their last 13 . Tony Parker was questionable coming into the game with an Achilles injury , but the injury appeared to have no major effect on the point guard , as he finished with 27 points ( 13 - 18 FG ) and four assists in just 26 minutes . Kawhi Leonard was not far behind , scoring 20 points ( 9 - 15 FG ) and recording four steals in 35 minutes of play . Leonard has been a monster on defense as of late , logging 14 steals in his last three games . Off the bench , Manu Ginobili scored 13 points on 5 - of - 8 shooting , while Boris Diaw put up a solid line of 15 points ( 7 - 14 FG ) and nine rebounds in 27 minutes . The victory brings the Spurs into a tie with the Clippers for fifth place in the Western Conference playoff race , although Los Angeles currently holds the tiebreaker over them with just three games left to play for each . MVP-candidate James Harden led the way for Houston , scoring 22 points ( 6 - 15 FG , 2 - 6 3Pt ) , to go along with four rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes . Coming off his 41 - point performance against Oklahoma City , it was a bit of a letdown game for Harden despite still reaching the 20 - point mark . Dwight Howard did not play a full load of minutes Wednesday , but still managed 16 points ( 7 - 10 ) and 11 rebounds in 22 minutes , as he continues to recover from a knee injury that kept him out for the majority of the season . Trevor Ariza was the only other Rockets ' starter to score in double figures , finishing with 19 points on 7 - of - 12 shooting in 34 minutes . Off the bench , Josh Smith contributed 13 points ( 5 - 13 FG , 3 - 8 3Pt ) and five assists in 27 minutes . With the loss and a Memphis win , Houston is now in third place in the West despite having the same record as Grizzlies , as the Rockets do not hold the tiebreaker over them . These teams will play each other once again on Saturday in Houston in another game with major playoff implications .
