Victor Wembanyama is the rookie of the year favorite and appears on his way to being an NBA superstar one day. But as Wembanyama goes through his growing pains in the league, the Houston Rockets seem to have his number.
Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs suffered their third straight loss to their in-state rival on Tuesday night, as the Rockets held on for a 103-101 victory in their final meeting of the season. During the three-game losing streak to Houston, the Spurs are averaging just 94.7 points per game. Even for the NBA's ninth-lowest scoring team, this falls 17.
