The Houston Rockets face a tough playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers, with Alperen Sengun struggling offensively and defensively, shooting only 38% from the field. Despite his potential as the franchise centerpiece, Sengun’s performance has been overshadowed by DeAndre Ayton and reliance on 37-year-old Kevin Durant, which is not a sustainable strategy. For the Rockets to have a chance to tie the series, Sengun must elevate his game significantly. The pressure is on the players to demonstrate their pride and turn the series around, especially with LeBron James as an obstacle.
