The San Antonio Spurs ( 19 - 13 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 21 - 8 ) 110 - 106 on Sunday at the AT & T Center in San Antonio . Both teams put up nearly identical shooting numbers in this matchup . The Spurs went 47 percent from the field and 37 percent from the three - point line , while the Rockets shot 49 percent from the floor and 36 percent from beyond the arc . The difference in this game came down to turnovers , as the Spurs defense was able to force the Rockets into a season - high of 25 . It gave them enough of an advantage to seal the victory . The Spurs were led by Danny Green , who had a team - high of 24 points ( 6 - 13 FG , 3 - 9 3Pt ) , while also recording five steals . He got to the free throw line 10 times , and converted on nine of those attempts . The five steals were a season - high , and the points were well above his season average of 13 points per game . With Tony Parker sitting out , Cory Joseph took his spot in the starting lineup as the point guard . He shot well , going 6 - for - 9 from the field and 1 - for - 1 from the three - point line to score 14 points in 34 minutes . He also had six rebounds and four assists . But without Parker , the Spurs also leaned on their other veterans with both Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili getting plenty of touches . Duncan finished with 16 points ( 6 - 12 FG , 4 - 5 FT ) and eight rebounds , while Ginobili came off the bench to score 15 points ( 5 - 7 FG , 2 - 4 3Pt , 3 - 4 FT ) and four assists . It was a nice win for the Spurs over a quality opponent . Despite taking the loss , the Rockets had a few players that played well . James Harden led the Rockets , going 10 - for - 18 from the floor and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 28 points . He also added five assists , but uncharacteristically turned the ball over nine times , which was the most he 's had all season . He was a big reason for the team turnover difference that really hurt the Rockets . Coming off the bench , Corey Brewer came out firing . He went 8 - for - 11 from the field and 6 - for - 8 from beyond the arc to score 25 points . It was a season - high for Brewer , as he seemingly could n't miss for the majority of the game . The other big contribution came from Dwight Howard who had a monster line of 24 points ( 11 - 13 FG , 2 - 7 FT ) and 17 rebounds . After scoring only six points on Friday against the Grizzlies , it was nice bounce back game for Howard . The Spurs ' next game will be on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday , while the Rockets will be at home against the Washington Wizards on Monday .
