Jeremy Sochan scores 22 points, leading San Antonio Spurs despite a close 101-106 loss to the Houston Rockets.
Polish player Jeremy Sochan showcased his scoring prowess, leading the San Antonio Spurs with 22 points and nine rebounds in their narrow 101-106 home loss against the Houston Rockets. Starting for the Spurs and logging 34 minutes, Sochan shot 9 of 18 from the field and 4 of 5 from the free-throw line. Though he missed his only three-point attempt, his efforts kept San Antonio competitive throughout the game.
The versatile Victor Wembanyama also impressed, contributing 14 points, an impressive 20 rebounds, and adding five assists along with four blocks. Despite recent struggles, with two consecutive losing seasons, the Spurs hope their young core led by Sochan and Wembanyama can spark a turnaround. Currently at a 1-2 record, San Antonio holds the 12th spot in the Western Conference.
The Spurs face a tough schedule, traveling to meet the undefeated Oklahoma City Thunder and, less than 24 hours later, the Utah Jazz, who are still searching for their first win.
