Sengun hasn't been efficient on offense to start the season, but showed prowess in Houston's loss. Unfortunately, he was benched and didn't finish the game.
The Houston Rockets fell to the Golden State Warriors in an overtime thriller, 127-121. In what could've been an epic 31-point comeback win, the Rockets couldn't get it done, scoring just two points in overtime.
What was so impressive is that Sengun did it in just 21 minutes. The Turkish center left for the locker room before the end of the first half but returned for the second half. He put up seven points and six rebounds in the third quarter, before being benched for the entirety of the fourth and overtime.
Sengun struggled on offense in the Rockets' previous five games before finding his footing last night. He's currently averaging 15.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting 38.6% percent. Sengun is shooting 40.0% from three, but it's on 1.6 attempts per game.
