He has produced three-consecutive 30-point games.
Rockets rookie Jalen Green began the week deciding that with the Rockets’ veterans sitting out he would step up his focus on looking for his shot. He has produced three consecutive 30-point games, the longest streak of games scoring at least 30 points for a Rockets rookie since Elvin Hayes had a pair of four-game runs in the 1968-69 season with the San Diego Rockets., has hit at least five 3-pointers in each of his past five games, a rookie record, and at least six 3s in four-consecutive games.
His run of games with at least five 3-pointers is tied for the eighth-longest in NBA history. His streak of games making at least six 3s is tied for the fifth longest. But much of his scoring surge has come from making a wide variety of shots. “He’s a shot maker,” Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. “He can get to the rim. He can get to the free throw line. He can shoot the mid-range. Just kind of happy for him that the work he puts in translates and he can be further confirmed that he’s really good by working and producing and working more and producing more.”In the three games since Green decided to look for his shot more often, he has attempted 24, 25 and 24 shots, more than he had in any of his previous 60 games.
“The way that he’s playing, it doesn’t seem like he is going too far outside of himself as far as hunting for shots,” Silas said. “I thought most of the shots that he takes are off a pick-and-roll created by another or late shot clock or the little pick-and-roll step-up where he can get to his mid-range. The quality of his shots are good.
