Alperen Sengun put Houston on his back Sunday night, finishing with 24 points, six rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in the Rockets’ 117-116 win over the Warriors.
The 23-year-old was efficient in the kind of performance that can tilt a tight game, going 10-for-19 from the field, 1-for-5 from three-point range and 3-for-3 at the free-throw line. He also kept the ball moving, pairing his scoring with seven assists in a one-point result that left little room for empty possessions.
The night fit a bigger pattern. Sengun has now posted at least four assists, five rebounds and 13 points in each of his last five games, a stretch that shows how consistently he is affecting games on both ends of the floor. Through Sunday, he is averaging 20.6 points, 1.1 blocks, 1.2 steals, 6.2 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game this season, with a 26.0% usage rate that reflects how central he has become to Houston’s offense.

That matters because the Rockets did not just get a scoring burst from Sengun against Golden State. They got production across the box score in a game decided by one point, and that kind of all-court value is what has turned his recent run into something more than a hot streak.

For Houston, the next question is not whether Sengun can carry a night. It is how often he can keep this level of production going when the margin is this thin and the game demands it everywhere at once.
