The Phoenix Suns failed to rebound from their month of misery this evening. On the other hand, your Houston Rockets just kept rebounding, and rebounding and rebounding etc.
Houston crashed the boards for a season high 67 rebounds tonight and that effort right there was enough to cement a wire-to-wire victory. Alperen Sengun led the way with 10 points and 16 boards as he relentlessly plucked the ball away from the Suns. His eighth double-double of the year ties his mark from his rookie year and it’s only December.
Tonight also marked the return of Coach Stephen Silas after his absence Sunday due to the passing of his father and NBA lifer, Paul Silas.
