The Rockets’ win on Monday ended their 13-game losing streak and simultaneously snapped...
Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards leaps while defending against Houston Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate during the second half of an NBA basketball game Monday, Jan. 23, 2023, in Houston. The Rockets won 119-114. Confetti rained at Toyota Center as a rare accompaniment to the customary postgame hugs the Rockets and their opponents exchanged on the court, but a welcome and cathartic addition to a routine that had turned stale without a win to celebrate in almost a month.
“It was time for us to really just buckle down and have a focused game for 48 minutes,” Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. “You think about this game compared to last game. We still turned it over a bunch of times. We still didn't make enough burritos. But it was the mental fortitude that we showed to win the game.”
Although Green headlined the evening with his best pro game, the effort was a group one. Alperen Sengun countered every defense Minnesota tried against him and scored 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Eason was a fire-starter on the glass and blocked a career-high three shots. “Before, we were playing so good for three quarters. Last quarter, we were playing selfish,” Sengun said. “But right now, this game, we did the same. Shared the ball, no one was selfish. Everyone played for their teammates. That’s what I think was the key to the game.”
