The Houston Rockets have done many things well this season to earn their 48-26 record. They have been one of the best defensive teams in the NBA since the start

Alperen Sengun totaled 33 points and 10 rebounds to boost the Houston Rockets to a 121-110 victory over the Utah Jazz on Thursday in Salt Lake City. Jalen Green added 21 points, eight rebounds and six assists as the Rockets (48-26) began a three-game road trip with their 11th win in 12 games.

Sengun had no trouble exploiting the Jazz, who continued to struggle without Lauri Markkanen (rest) and John Collins (ankle) in the lineup. The double-double threat had one of his lowest assist totals of the season, but he's eclipsed double-digit totals in the category four times, resulting in four triple-doubles.

Alperen Sengun had 33 points and 10 rebounds, Amen Thompson finished with 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, and the Houston Rockets beat the Utah Jazz 121-110 on Thursday night. The Rockets have a two-game lead over the third-place Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference standings with a little more than two weeks left in the regular season.

Alperen Sengun (33 points, 10 rebounds) was elite in Utah as the Rockets (48-26, No. 2 in West) gained a game on both the Lakers and Grizzlies.

Alperen Sengun goes in for an impressive slam in the Rockets' win over the Jazz.
