Rockets ran two pick and rolls with Sengun and Martin tonight with Sengun as the ball handler. It resulted in two alleyoops: “Alpe’s able to make those plays,” Silas said. “We’re gonna explore it a little more.” – 11:12 PM

Alperen Sengun was sensational for the #Rockets but he wasn’t enough for his team against the Toronto Raptors.
Sengun had another great appearance counting 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 60% from the field and 75% from the line.
His development is clear. – 10:35 PM

That’s gotta be 1 of the least inspiring wins in Raptors history. Barely broke a sweat, which says more about the competition than it does about them. They’re 3-3 on their 7-game trip, which comes to an end in Memphis on Sunday. From the last-place Rockets to the 2nd-place Grizz. – 10:25 PM

The Nets have won as many playoff series with KD/Kyrie as they did with KG/Pierce, which is to say one, and now the Rockets control their next five first-round draft picks. A quick rundown of another unraveling in Brooklyn for @The Vertical: sports.yahoo.com/nba-all-star-k… – 3:56 PM

Kyrie is going to leave Brooklyn — the place he always wanted to be — in free agency this offseason to sign with Orlando or OKC or Detroit or Indiana or San Antonio or Houston — the cap space teams? Feels like a pretty empty threat. – 2:55 PM

The best way for Russell Westbrook to pay back the Rockets for the Chris Paul trade would be to don a Nets jersey. – 2:20 PM

Another reminder that Houston owns Brooklyn’s:
2023 first round pick (swap rights)
2024 first round pick
2025 first round pick (swap rights)
2026 first round pick
2027 first round pick (swap rights)
All of them unprotected. – 2:04 PM
