NBA News: San Antonio Spurs Playoff Hopes, Houston Rockets Win, Russell Westbrook Triple-double The 109-93 loss was the Spurs’ ninth in 11 games, and puts Gregg Popovich’s team on a 37-30 record, which has seen them drop to the 10th seed in the Western Conference. It was the 1996-97 season when the Spurs last missed out on the postseason and, while there’s still plenty of time to go in the regular season, it’s a position this franchise has rarely been put in, in recent memory. James Harden led the way for the Rockets with 28 points, six rebounds, and six assists, while Chris Paul posted 18 points and nine assists for the team’s that’s surged to the top of the Western Conference.

Then someone summoned him. "I didn't know what the hell was going on," DeRozan recalls. "I thought, 'S---, I know I can't be traded.' It was like I was being called into the principal's office.'"
