Playing their first game after trading James Harden, the Rockets field a makeshift lineup that more than held its own against the Spurs. NBA

Christian Wood racked up 27 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the shorthanded Houston Rockets to a surprising 109-105 win over the host San Antonio Spurs on Thursday, January 14 .

The Rockets were also without John Wall and Eric Gordon, both due to minor leg injuries, and Danuel House Jr, sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols. Houston answered with three-pointers by Wood and Sterling Brown, then tied the game at 101 on another Wood trey with 2:47 left. Keldon Johnson's layup with 1:31 left was countered by a hoop from the Rockets' Jae'Sean Tait that rebuilt the four-point lead.
