Rockets Need to Run Offense Through Sengun in Game 2 to Regain Control
•Yahoo Sports
Houston’s Game 1 loss hinged on one critical oversight: failing to funnel offense through their star big. Game 2 demands Sengun dominate.
Houston lost Game 1 simply because Alperen Sengun wasn’t at the center of their offense. Point blank. All season, this offense has had a very clear identity.
It runs through Sengun. He’s the guy who organizes everything. He’s notching on average 20.
4 points, 8. 9 rebounds, and 6. 2 assists a night for a reason.
The ball is supposed to find him. And that didn’t happen nearly enough on Saturday. Instead, the Rockets spent it playing a version of offense that felt… improvised.
