Jalen Green scores 37, Rockets beat Thunder 132-126 in overtime for 10th straight victory
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Houston Rockets didn’t care that they beat an Oklahoma City squad that was missing its best player, All-Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Rockets celebrated loudly in the locker room after escaping with a win at one of the toughest venues in the league. Jalen Green scored 37 points and Houston won its 10th straight game, defeating the Thunder 132-126 in overtime on Wednesday night.
“It was lit, it was lit,” Green said. “Everybody was happy, celebrating, screaming. I mean, we fought for that one. We worked hard.”
Rockets coach Ime Udoka said it’s all about stacking victories.
“Ten in a row is 10 in a row, regardless if Shai is out or whatever the case may be,” Udoka said. “But it’s hard to do in the NBA. The guys are proud of that effort, and well deserved.”
Amen Thompson had 25 points and 15 rebounds and Dillon Brooks added 20 points for the Rockets.
