The Houston Rockets start the 2024-2025 NBA regular season with a tough loss, dropping an 18-point lead to the Charlotte Hornets 110-105.
The Houston Rockets opened the regular season at the Toyota Center against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. The team was without veteran center Steven Adams, which came back to hurt late in the game.
The story of the night, however, was star center Alperen Şengün's dominant performance against the banged-up Hornets. He put on a show in the season opener, recording a double-double with 25 points and 18 rebounds. Despite the tough loss, the two newly paid stars for the Rockets proved that they were worth every penny and then some on Wednesday night. Green not only lit up the scoreboard with 28 points, but also made a huge impact on the defensive end, forcing tough shots for the Hornets.The Rockets also got some valuable minutes from forwards Thompson and Tari Eason.
