休斯顿电——朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 开场手感火热，但里德·谢泼德 (Reed Sheppard) 在决胜时刻的表现更为耀眼。
谢泼德在第四节独得其个人21分中的12分，阿尔佩伦·申京 (Alperen Sengun) 砍下20分、13个篮板和9次助攻的准三双数据，帮助火箭队在第二节一度落后16分的情况下奋起直追，最终在周二晚间以111-106击败马刺，完成了球队本赛季最大分差的逆转。
在末节出战的11分钟里，谢泼德投篮7中4，其中包括三分球5投3中。
尚帕尼在上半场便砍下了他全场最高的27分中的20分。他全场三分球16投8中，但马刺全队的三分线外命中率仅为28%（50投14中），整体投篮命中率也只有39%（105投41中）。
在半场以60-70落后的情况下，休斯顿在下半场以51-36净胜马刺。火箭队在第四节以29-14取胜，将战绩提升至26胜15负，同时将本赛季双方的系列赛大比分扳为1-1平，后续还有两场比赛。
整个第四节，马刺队投篮28仅7中（命中率25%），并且三分线外的13次出手全部投失。
“整个下半场，休斯顿都干得非常出色，他们提升了身体对抗强度和侵略性，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。
本场失利后，马刺队的三连胜宣告终结，战绩来到30胜14负。
由于马刺队的斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在一次扣篮尝试后抓拽篮筐导致其损坏，本场比赛的开场跳球被推迟了近30分钟。
火箭队的弗雷德·范弗利特 (Fred VanVleet)（膝伤）和史蒂文·亚当斯 (Steven Adams)（脚踝伤势）本场比赛缺阵。
马刺队正开启一波两连客之旅，本场是第一站，下一场将于周四晚对阵犹他。以下是本场比赛的三大要点：
1. 火箭队的防守成功限制了文班
火箭队轮番派上多名极具侵略性的防守者对位文班亚马，成功将其30分钟内的得分限制在仅14分。他全场21投仅5中，三分线外更是7投0中。
“自从我们拥有维克托以来，休斯顿就一直用这种方式防守他，所以我认为这没什么新鲜的，”约翰逊说。“这种防守很难应对。我们全队上下都打得有些仓促，被挤出了自己的进攻位置。”
文班亚马本场抢下10个篮板，但没有送出一次盖帽，这是他本赛季第三次单场盖帽数为零。
2. 尚帕尼手感再度爆棚
马刺队在本赛季开始时急需一名三分射手。而尚帕尼则一次又一次地证明了自己能够胜任这个角色。
本场命中的8记三分球，是尚帕尼自跨年夜对阵纽约队比赛以来单场三分命中数最多的一次。在那场比赛中，他投进了创队史纪录的11记三分，并砍下生涯新高的36分。
这是尚帕尼本赛季第二次成为马刺队内得分王，也是自那场以134-132战胜尼克斯的比赛后，他首次领衔全队得分。
这也是他本赛季第六次单场命中至少5记三分球。
3. 卡斯尔带伤作战
第三节，卡斯尔那被厚厚包裹着、本就有伤的左手大拇指被约什·奥科吉 (Josh Okogie) 不慎撞到，他因此面露痛苦表情长达一两分钟。
这位2024年的年度最佳新秀没有选择下场休息等待疼痛缓解，而是坚持了下来，甚至在几分钟后还命中了一记三分球。在35分钟的出场时间里，他贡献了13分、8次助攻和7个篮板。
“他显然是个硬汉，”约翰逊说。

3 takeaways as Victor Wembanyama scores just 14 in loss to Rockets

HOUSTON — Julian Champagnie was hot early, but Reed Sheppard sizzled when it counted most.
Sheppard scored 12 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, Alperen Sengun nearly had a triple-double with 20 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, and the Rockets overcame a 16-point second period deficit to down the Spurs 111-106 on Tuesday night for their biggest comeback of the season.
Playing 11 minutes in the final frame, Sheppard hit 4 of 7 from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range.
Champagnie scored 20 of his game-high 27 points in the first half. He was 8 of 16 from 3-point range, but the Spurs as a whole shot just 28% (14 of 50) from beyond the arc and 39% overall (41 of 105) from the field.
Houston outscored the Spurs 51-36 in the second half after trailing 70-60 at halftime. The Rockets won the fourth quarter 29-14 to improve to 26-15 and even the season series at 1-1 with two games remaining.
The Spurs hit just 7 of 28 (25%) field goal attempts and missed all 13 of their shots from downtown in the fourth.
“Houston did a heck of a job the whole second half, ramping up their physicality, ramping up their level of aggression,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said.
The Spurs fell to 30-14 after winning three in a row.
The opening tip was delayed nearly 30 minutes after the Spurs’ Stephon Castle broke one of the rims by hanging on to it after a dunk attempt.
The Rockets played without Fred VanVleet (knee) and Steven Adams (ankle).
Here are three takeaways from the first game of a two-game road trip for the Spurs that ends Thursday night at Utah:
1. Rockets defense frustrated Wemby
Throwing a variety of aggressive-minded defenders at Victor Wembanyama, the Rockets limited him to just 14 points in 30 minutes. He made just 5 of 21 from the floor and was 0 for 7 from deep.
“Houston’s played this brand of defense since we’ve had Victor, so I don’t think it’s anything new,” Johnson said. “It’s hard to play against. Our whole team across the board, we got rushed, we got pushed off our spots.”
Wembanyama had 10 rebounds but finished without a block, only the third time that’s happened all season.
2. Champagnie was on fire — again
The Spurs opened the season in need of a 3-point threat. Time and again, Champagnie has proved he’s up to the task.
Champagnie’s eight 3s were the most he’s had since he canned a franchise-record 11 against New York on New Year’s Eve en route to a career-high 36 points.
It was only the second time this season Champagnie has led the Spurs in scoring and his first time on top since the 134-132 win over the Knicks.
It was the sixth time this season he’s finished a game with five or more 3s.
3. Castle playing through pain
Castle grimaced for about a minute or two after his heavily wrapped sore left thumb got inadvertently bumped by Josh Okogie in the third quarter.
Rather than head to the bench until the pain subsided, the 2024 Rookie of the Year fought through it and even canned a 3-pointer a few minutes later. In 35 minutes, he finished with 13 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.
“He’s obviously a tough kid,” Johnson said.
