"No! They're our rivalry! The Spurs," shouted one Rockets fan.

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons, and Houston Rockets owned the best odds to win the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery at 14 percent.

But when the NBA started to announce the order and stopped after announcing the Pistons fell to the No. 5 spot, the Spurs and Rockets became the favorites to be the final team standing.

With the Pistons out of the way, ultimately, it would not be Houston's night as the Rockets fell to No. 4, and the Spurs were announced as the winners of Draft Night positioned at No. 1 in the upcoming NBA Draft and poised to select Victor Wembanyama.
