Alperen became a star, Houston made a breakthrough

NBA: First victory for the Rockets, Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün shined

The Houston Rockets won the game against the Charlotte Hornets in the American Basketball League (NBA) with a score of 128-119.

Jalen Green, who showed one of his most effective performances for the Rockets in the game, carried the scoring load for his team with 23 points. Fred VanVleet played a big role in the victory by recording a double-double with 22 points and 11 assists.

Turkish star Alperen Şengün, who plays for the Rockets, made a vital contribution with 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, helping his team achieve its first victory of the season.

After losing their first three games, this victory was a turning point for the Rockets.

On the other hand, the success of Turkish players in the NBA was not limited to Houston. While the Utah Jazz won 133-109 against the Memphis Grizzlies, Ömer Faruk Yurtseven supported the Jazz’s victory with 3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

In the Clippers, although Kawhi Leonard was the most productive name on the field with 38 points, he could not prevent his team from losing.

Paul George’s 35-point contribution could not prevent defeat, and thus the Lakers ended their streak of 11 consecutive losses against the Clippers.
