Rockets win 117-114. They made key plays down the stretch despite not having the Terror Twins. We win easily with Amen Thompson and Tari Eason.
Jalen Green finished with 28 points and 6 rebounds. Alperen "baby Jokic" Sengun had 24 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Fred VanVleet added 23 points and 7 assists. The Rockets haven't lost since he returned from injury. He's an NBA champion and knows what it takes to win. Having a guy like FVV will be huge once the playoffs begin. Because he's got that championship DNA as a point guard. While the rest of the team will be mostly young guys playing in the playoffs for the first time.
Rockets are 43-25 and have won six games in a row! And the Rockets host the 76ers on Monday. A chance for seven in a row.
They keep the 3rd seed and remain in position to pass the Nuggets for the 2nd seed when they play two times down the stretch.
