The Houston Rockets continued their hot streak, blasting the Washington Wizards 107-92. With this victory, the Rockets improved to a sizzling 7-4 on the season, showcasing their dominance in the Western Conference.

The Sengun Show

The night belonged to the towering Alperen Sengun, who put on a clinic, finishing with a game-high 27 points, 17 rebounds, and 3 blocks. The young center was a force inside, outplaying the highly-touted Wizards rookie Alex Sarr. Sengun’s efficient shooting and dominant presence in the paint were key to the Rockets’ victory.

A Team Effort

While Sengun stole the show, the Rockets received solid contributions from their entire roster. Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, and Jabari Smith Jr. all chipped in with double-digit scoring performances. The team's strong defensive effort, highlighted by Thompson’s 4 steals and 4 blocks, stifled the Wizards’ offense.

Looking Ahead

With key players like Fred VanVleet and Jock Landale sidelined due to injury, the Rockets will need to rely on their depth to maintain their winning momentum. As they embark on a crucial three-game homestand, the team is poised to make a statement and solidify their position in the Western Conference.
