October 26 - The San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets will look to put opening-night disappointments in the rear-view mirror when the Lone Star State rivals meet on Friday in the Alamo City.
San Antonio and Houston tied for the worst record (22-60) in the Western Conference last season.
A back-and-forth final period featured five ties before a pair of free throws by San Antonio's Devin Vassell with 2:09 to play gave San Antonio a short-lived advantage.
Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks hit for 14 points apiece in their Houston debuts while Alperen Sengun posted 14 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Rockets.
"This was the worst game we've played collectively and individually."
