Alperen Sengun DOMINATES Reigning DPOY Evan Mobley With HISTORIC Performance As Rockets Beat Cavs

Houston Rockets overpower Cleveland Cavaliers behind Alperen Şengün’s dominant post play—with Şengün cementing himself as one of the top-2 players from the 2021 draft class.

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) spotlights Houston’s 114-104 win, zeroing in on Şengün’s historic performance against the Cavaliers’ elite frontcourt and exploring how the Rockets exposed defensive weaknesses. Key segments include Aaron Holiday’s clutch fourth-quarter heroics, Kevin Durant’s surprising struggles, and Ime Udoka’s lineup adjustments that nearly sparked a third-quarter collapse. Insights into second-chance point domination and defensive schemes to contain Donovan Mitchell add nuanced analysis.

Can Houston sustain its five-game win streak and challenge for Western Conference supremacy? Catch strategic breakdowns, player development updates on Reed Sheppard and Jabari Smith Jr., plus reflections on team chemistry as the Rockets push to solidify their identity in the NBA playoff picture.
