Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets (25-12) won a hard-fought victory at Memphis on Friday, led by Alperen Sengun’s 32 points and 14 rebounds. The victory was a third straight win for the in-form Rockets, rebuilding nicely. The win was a sixth straight victory on the road for the Rockets. It didn’t come easy, though. Although the Rockets won the first half and were 17 points up at some point, Memphis player Desmond Bane had rattled in a 3-pointer with seconds on the clock and the game at 117-114, but a mix-up from the bench, which had called a time-out before the shot denied the Grizzlies the opportunity to tie the game and force overtime. Jalen Green scored 27, and Fred Vanvleet contributed 22 as Houston held second place in the West behind the OKC Thunder.
