The Houston Rockets lost their second straight game to their state rival the San Antonio Spurs 103-104 Friday night at Toyota Center, dropping their ranking in the Western Conference from third to sixth.

The Rockets still couldn't find a way out Friday after losing their last match to the Spurs at San Antonio. Their top scorer James Harden was bottled up all night and finished with only 16 points. Dwight Howard had 12 points and 14 rebounds.

Tim Duncan carried the Spurs with 29 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks, including the game-winner. Kawhi Leonard added 18 points.

It was San Antonio's 10th straight victory. With the win, the Spurs jumped into the third spot in the Western Conference. Endi
