There are increasingly more arguments that make the Houston Rockets a team with aspirations for everything. The 125-111 victory of the Texans over the Oklahoma City Thunder is a strong demonstration of their potential, and it is worth analyzing the conglomerate of aspects that will make them a formidable team in the postseason.
A starting five full of complementary specialists, determined and with a deep roster of young players capable of changing the pace of the game, and a strong will to prove that they are being underestimated. Houston Rockets combines all these virtues and showcased them in their match against Oklahoma City Thunder. Not only did they prevent the Western leaders from reaching 70 victories, but they also reaffirmed their candidacy for glory with a voracious competitive spirit. Jalen Green disrupts in attack with increasing maturity, Alperen Sengun can dominate the paint, and Amen Thompson is capable of guarding anyone, displaying ever-growing offensive skills.
Jalen Green (34 pts) and Alperen Sengun (31 pts) boost the Rockets past the NBA-best OKC Thunder!

If we add the competitive spirit and experience brought by Brooks and VanVleet, along with the depth of the roster, the mix becomes explosive. Many people persist in undervaluing their aspirations, but this victory is a significant statement that will give them confidence heading into the playoffs, allowing them to approach this final stretch of the season calmly. They virtually have secured the second place and will face a team emerging from a stressful play-in. Houston Rockets have a lot to say.
Amen had a STRONG impact in tonight's win over the No.1 seed 👏
