Houston Rockets fans, buckle up because last night’s game against the Pacers was a wild ride!
Sengun’s Night to Shine
Alperen Sengun was on fire, leading the Rockets to a convincing 130-113 victory over Indiana. The dude dropped 31 points, snagged 12 boards, and shot a sizzling 63.2% from the field. Not too shabby, right? While he only dished out two assists, those were enough to set a new NBA record for the most assists by a center before turning 23, hitting a whopping 864. Talk about making history!
Alperenโs court vision is unreal! He sees everything. A real playmaker in every sense!

Rockets’ Young Guns Blazing
The Rockets are on a roll, folks! With an 11-5 start, they’re looking like serious playoff contenders. I think this young squad is really starting to gel. Sengun isn’t the only one making waves; Jabari Smith Jr. bounced back from a rough start to the season, dropping 23 points and grabbing eight rebounds. And let’s not forget Fred VanVleet, who added 18 points, six assists, and four steals. The guy was everywhere!
Looking Ahead
Next up, the Rockets face the Trail Blazers in what promises to be an exciting NBA Cup matchup. Can they keep this momentum going? With their current form, I’d bet on it. Speaking of bets, did you see how the sportsbooks are favoring them for the playoffs now? It’s like watching a Cinderella story unfold on the court.
So, as the Rockets prepare to take on Portland, the big question is: Can they sustain this level of play and make a deep playoff run? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sureโthis team is fun to watch!
