In the Cheap Seats, Chron sports writers answer burning questions from readers.

What has fueled the Rockets' success against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs?

Chron sports editor Josh Criswell:

After losing their first game against San Antonio, the Rockets closed out the season series with three straight wins over their in-state rival. No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama struggled on the offensive end in these Spurs losses, averaging just 12.7 points on 43.2 percent shooting. Wembanyama explained why Houston has given his team so much trouble following Tuesday's 103-101 Rockets victory, calling them "very aggressive" and the "most hard" challenge he's seen as a rookie.
