In the second quarter, the Nuggets had problems on both offense and defense, and the Rockets took the opportunity to widen the gap to double digits.

This is not just an ordinary victory, but a shocking battle that heralds the return of Harden - the 36-year-old Harden scored an astonishing 41 points in the game with only 17 attempts, an efficiency that can be described as remarkable. It must be said that although Harden is already a veteran in the league, his form has not declined at all due to age, but rather there is a sense of getting fiercer with age. In this game, Harden was like a living basketball monster, completely disorienting the opponents, and the Clippers also took advantage of this big win to show their strong potential in the West. You know, Harden's scoring efficiency is not something to be taken lightly, 41 points in 30 minutes, this data would make anyone's eyes light up in any game. What's even more amazing is that this score did not rely on a frenzy of three-pointers, but rather on precise mid-range shots and strong breakthroughs, Harden's performance makes people can't help but think of those young days - strong, decisive, accurate. Nowadays, although Harden is already 35 years old, he still maintains that explosive power and scoring desire, and can still carry the team's offensive banner in critical moments. This game also made the Clippers' head coach Tyronn Lue praise Harden's performance, believing that such efficient scoring is rare in players of any age, and Harden's competitive state is simply astonishing. After this big win, the Clippers have finally made a breakthrough in their record. With this victory, the Clippers' record has risen to…

In a recent Western Conference matchup, the visiting Rockets easily defeated the Trail Blazers 125-103. This victory brought the Rockets' record to 28 wins and 13 losses, solidifying their second place in the West while extending their lead over the third-place Grizzlies to 1.5 games. Compared to the tense and exciting Western Conference standings, this is quite a significant lead. Unbeknownst to many, the Rockets did not even play at full strength in this rout against the Trail Blazers! Otherwise, the Trail Blazers might have suffered a crushing defeat by as many as 40 points. Despite leading by double digits after three quarters, the Rockets surprisingly benched their top scorer, Jalen Green, in the fourth quarter! Even so, the Rockets still managed to secure a resounding 22-point victory, which speaks volumes about the team's terrifying offensive firepower! Of course, Coach Udoka had his reasons for this decision. With an opponent far weaker than themselves and already leading by double digits, it made sense to give their top scorer ample rest so he could perform better in the next game. Therefore, benching Jalen Green after three quarters was a sensible move. Ultimately, Jalen Green's stats for the game were locked in after playing 29 minutes across three quarters, shooting 10 of 17 from the field, 4 of 6 from three-point range, and 2 of 2 from the free-throw line, tallying 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal, with a game-high plus-minus of +23! Frankly speaking, Udoka's decision to bench the red-hot Jalen Green in the fourth quarter was bold!…

With the Houston Rockets' decisive victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, Jalen Green once again became the focus of Houston, scoring 26 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal in just three quarters, achieving a league-leading plus-minus (+23). In this game, he extended his streak of consecutive double-digit scoring games to 10. If this momentum continues, he is well on his way to securing a spot in the Western Conference All-Star reserve lineup. However, relying solely on Green would not have been enough to completely turn the tide of the game. According to Shen Jing, had it not been for head coach Udoka's harsh words during halftime, the second half of the game might have lacked energy and aggression. Fortunately, the coaching staff and players reached a consensus on winning, otherwise their position among the top three in the West would have been at risk. Facing the relentless offensive onslaught from the young team, Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups seemed helpless. The outside shooting of Green, the inside play of Shen Jing, and the bench contributions of Ison and Whitmore all displayed a strong desire to score. Their tidal wave of attacks directly carried them to victory. At the same time, Billups also mentioned the team's rebuilding and development, suggesting that the current Houston could serve as a reference. Although their roster is filled with many talented newcomers, playing time and shooting opportunities may not be evenly distributed. The No. 3 pick in the 24th draft, Sheppard, is the most typical example. However, their draft picks have proven to…

Recently on the NBA court, the Rockets have been in a strong momentum, making steady progress. After a strong victory over the Nuggets away from home, they firmly occupy the second place in the West, opening up a significant gap with the Grizzlies behind them. The Rockets have transformed from a dark horse that people thought might "drop the chain" at any time to a strong team recognized by everyone today. The key to this transformation lies in the transformation of a core player. Yes, it is Jalen Green. He proved himself with his strength, making the decision of the Rockets management at that time seem wise. The Rockets used to win games all the time, but people always felt something was missing. Everyone thought that apart from a good supporting lineup, the core players' abilities were not enough, and their performance was unstable. However, Jalen Green's rise has completely changed this situation. Take the game at the Denver highland home court as an example. Green was simply amazing. He played for less than 30 minutes, made 10 out of 16 shots, scored 34 points plus 5 assists, made 6 out of 10 three-pointers, and made 8 out of 8 free throws. This efficiency is simply amazing. Moreover, now, such performances have become commonplace for him because in the last 7 games, he scored more than 20 points in each game, and in the last 6 games, he scored more than 25 points in each game, including 3 games with more than 30 points and 1 game with 40 points.…

The Phoenix Suns have finally risen again, securing a hard-fought victory over the Detroit Pistons with a score of 125-121, marking their second consecutive win. With a current record of 21 wins and 20 losses, they stand at 10th place in the Western Conference, just one game behind the eighth spot. Recently, the decision to bench star player Bradley Beal has been seen as a sign of surrender from the Suns. Placing a player with a $50 million annual salary in a sixth-man role is an admission of the folly of trading Chris Paul for Beal, especially when both players have similar playing styles. It's clear that many fans were skeptical when Beal joined the Suns, and it seems the team's management may not be as astute as the fans. This season, the Suns find themselves in a desperate situation, with a luxury tax of a staggering 188millionandtotalexpendituresexceeding188 million and total expenditures exceeding 188millionandtotalexpendituresexceeding400 million. If they can only make it to the play-in tournament, this would be unacceptable for the team's owner. Moreover, the Suns have no way out; their path has been cut off by the Houston Rockets, who hold most of their future draft picks. This is why the odds of Booker's next team being the Rockets are so high, as the Suns must regain their draft picks from the Rockets if they wish to rebuild. Now, the Suns have only one option left: to continue gambling, and they cannot stop. However, the Suns have made some wise moves, such as signing Jones at a low price…

NBA regular season, the Rockets defeated the Blazers 125-103. The game remained close in the first half, but a surge in the third quarter of the second half allowed the Rockets to secure a big win. Four players had perfect performances throughout the game. Green checked out early in the second half, playing only 29 minutes across three quarters and scoring 26 points with 5 assists, boasting a team-high +23 plus-minus rating. Green is currently in an unstoppable form, consistently delivering results and being the most reliable player on the team, which is a joy to see. Dillon maintained his perfect firepower in this game, shooting 9 for 18 to score 22 points with 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. This is the role he should maintain, as his scoring ability is not lacking, and his defense can also be guaranteed. Ethan remains an all-around offensive and defensive presence. He has been able to maintain perfect play in both games, shooting 6 for 10 to score 18 points with 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. He will be the new king of the Rockets' bench, significantly contributing to the overall momentum of the team. Shenjing finally played normally in this game, shooting 6 for 9 in the third quarter to score 14 points with 5 rebounds. He finished the game with 23 points and 15 rebounds, helping the team pull away in the third quarter. Hopefully, he can toughen up in future games. Holiday and Adams both had passing grades. Holiday managed to maintain his shooting…

The Houston Rockets achieved a significant victory with a score of 125-103 against the Portland Trail Blazers. The game was marked by strong individual performances, particularly from Jalen Green who scored 26 points with 5 rebounds, and Alperen Sengun who had an impressive game with 23 points, 6 assists, 15 rebounds, and 2 steals. After the game, Sengun showed sportsmanship by embracing Rui Hachimura from the opposing team's bench. The Rockets started the game strongly, leading by one point at halftime with a score of 51-50. Despite facing some challenges in the first half, including a cold shooting performance from Fred VanVleet, the team managed to maintain their lead. VanVleet, who had struggled with his shot in the first half, managed to contribute with 9 points, 3 assists, and 4 rebounds by the end of the game. Sengun's performance was notable for his aggressive playstyle, which saw him score efficiently and contribute significantly to the team's offense. However, there were concerns about his defensive capabilities, as the Blazers targeted him during their comeback attempts in the third quarter. Despite this, Sengun's overall contribution was crucial to the Rockets' success. The fourth quarter saw the Rockets pull away with a barrage of three-point shots, extending their lead to over 20 points. This decisive run effectively sealed the game, with the team showcasing their offensive prowess and depth. The game concluded with a heartwarming moment as Sengun approached the Blazers' bench and embraced Hachimura, demonstrating the respect and camaraderie between players on opposing teams.

Here's a brief summary of today's games! The Warriors edged out the Wizards with a score of 122-114. In the first half, the Wizards took the lead thanks to a strong performance by Bradley Beal, who hit several difficult three-pointers. The Warriors' offense relied heavily on Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry to keep them in the game, as they trailed by seven points at halftime. However, after the break, the Warriors' offense exploded, with players like Dennis Schroder, Wiggins, Curry, and Jordan Poole all finding their shooting touch. They scored over 30 points in two consecutive quarters to turn the tide and ultimately secure the win, moving up to tenth place in the standings ahead of the Phoenix Suns. Curry suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, putting the Warriors in a tough spot once again. Kyle Kuzma scored 22 points, Beal had 38 points, Wiggins contributed 31 points and 11 rebounds, Curry added 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, and Schroder chipped in with 20 points.

The Houston Rockets achieved a significant victory over the Portland Trail Blazers with a score of 125-103. Jalen Green, known for his efficiency, scored 26 points with 10 out of 17 shots, including 4 out of 6 three-pointers, and contributed 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal. Notably, this marks the ninth consecutive game in which Green has scored over 20 points, setting a new career record for him. The last time he achieved such a streak was in March of the previous year, when he scored over 20 points from the 15th to the 30th of March, during which the Rockets also won 11 consecutive games. This time, Green is expected to maintain his performance even longer. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in Green's confidence, solidifying his position as the cornerstone of the Rockets. He confidently shoots three-pointers without looking back after each shot, a celebration style reminiscent of last March that he has now reclaimed. This is why Green elicits both love and frustration from Rockets fans. If he were to consistently perform like a rookie, fans would be disappointed. However, Green occasionally surprises with moments of brilliance, making his superstar-level performances intermittent. From the beginning of his rookie season, Green started off well, even scoring 30 points against the Boston Celtics. But his performance dipped after that, only to explode post-All-Star break, though it didn't last long before declining again. In his second season, he started poorly but had brief moments of excellence followed by a slump. In his third year, Green reduced the number…
