Rockets OUTCLASSED By Spurs As Houston Looks LOST And Alperen Sengun Faces New DOUBTS Houston Rockets unravel in a 145-120 blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs as Alperen ?engün’s struggles raise urgent questions about the team’s trajectory. Can the Rockets recover their defensive identity and close the widening gap between themselves and rising teams like San Antonio and Detroit? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) examines a night full of warning signs, spotlighting Kevin Durant’s limited shot opportunities, Reed Sheppard’s rough outing, and Jabari Smith Jr.’s quiet efficiency. Key discussion points include the alarming defensive regression, the impact of Clint Capela’s minutes, ongoing lineup fit issues, and whether Ime Udoka’s coaching can spark a turnaround. With ?engün’s inconsistency hampering star potential, fans are left wondering if the young core can elevate their play before the postseason.
