The Houston Rockets have made a significant statement in the Western Conference, securing two impressive wins against strong contenders, the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors, without their star player, Kevin Durant. Alperen Sengun has emerged as the teams primary offensive engine, consistently creating opportunities for his teammates, including Jabari Smith Junior and Reed Sheppard. Sheppard, in particular, has stepped up, showcasing his scoring ability and efficiently contributing to the offense. The Rockets have also demonstrated elite rebounding, with Clint Capela having strong outings, providing a solid foundation for their overall game. These wins prove that the Rockets can indeed compete at a high level even when Durant is not playing, offering valuable lessons for future scenarios.
