Asked Rafael Stone about lineup data that suggests the Rockets have been better without Jalen Green this season: "That's a really flawed question. There's great data that we have and we use. I can make data say whatever I want it to say. We heavily use it, but we're careful."

It's time.

Alperen Sengun. Locked in.

Asked Ime Udoka about Amen Thompson not finishing as a finalist for DPOY: "Take this snub and use it as motivation."

Ime Udoka is a Coach of the Year finalist. Amen Thompson is NOT a Defensive Player of the Year finalist.

Asked Dillon Brooks how many ejections we were going to see in this series: "I don't know. I'm not gonna get ejected. I'll leave that to somebody else."

Rockets starters, per Ime Udoka Jalen Green Dillon Brooks Tari Eason Jabari Smith Jr. Alperen Sengun

Fred VanVleet is OUT again tonight, per Ime Udoka.

Amen Thompson will be re-evaluated in a week, per Ime Udoka.

Jalen had nine free throw attempts tonight, but could have EASILY had 15+ attempts with multiple no-calls throughout the night. He continues to get one of the worst whistles in the entire league on drives. It's ridiculous.

Jalen Green attempted nine free throws tonight (6-of-9 shooting, nice) on his way to 35 points. Fun stat: Rockets are now 12-4 when Jalen attempts six or more free throws. Across those 16 games he's averaging 26.1 ppg.

LOUD cheers for Jabari Smith Jr. as he checks in for the first time since January 1st

#Rockets starters Jalen Green Dillon Brooks Amen Thompson Tari Eason Alperen Sengun Jabari Smith Jr. is available and will come off the bench.

Alperen Sengun scores his first points as an NBA All-Star

Amen Thompson. Good player.

Asked Ime Udoka the differences in Reed Sheppard being around the team vs with RGV: "We needed to get him live game reps. It's a tough one because he's better than the G League. Have to find that balance. It's also invaluable for him to be around our guys. Learn the NBA."

Alperen Sengun has been named a Western Conference All-Star. He is the first homegrown #Rockets All-Star since Yao Ming.

Ime Udoka subbing out Alperen Sengun with 3-4 minutes in the first and bringing him back with 6-7 minutes in the second is just simple minutes management for a star player on a B2B, ESPECIALLY one who's role is as taxing as Alpi's being the offensive hub AND defensive anchor.

FROM SHAMS: JUST IN: The Sacramento Kings are expected to open up talks to potentially deal All-Star De'Aaron Fox ahead of Feb. 6 trade deadline, sources tell ESPN. There will be plenty of suitors, but it's believed that Fox has a target destination in mind ahead of 2026 free agency.

Soon @johnkaralis.bsky.social 😤🚀

Amen Thompson (14) and Dillon Brooks (12) combined for 26 of the #Rockets 31 points in the first quarter.

DILLON BROOKS

Jalen Green finds Amen Thompson in transition!

Cam Whitmore did not play in the second half because he was sick, per Ime Udoka.

Ime Udoka on similarities between this game and last game: "They came back from a deficit. Difference is we were scoring, but couldn't get a stop. Hurts my heart to give up 47 in any quarter. Let alone the fourth."

The #Rockets just handed the Cavs their first 3-game losing streak of the year and just their third loss at home all season. Alperen Sengun with an All-Star performance and Amen Thompson with an insane 23/14/10 triple-double and clutch free throws. Statement win for Houston.

TARI EASON BLOCKS DARIUS GARLAND

AMEN THOMPSON PUTBACK

#Rockets are completely dismantling the Cavs zone defense

Cavs have absolutely no idea how to guard the #Rockets without fouling.

Jalen Green drills the step-back three to close the quarter! He's up to 22 points on 5-of-8 from deep 🔥

Amen Thompson drives, elevates and scores over Evan Mobley

Alperen Sengun with a ridiculous and-1 on Jarrett Allen.

Amen Thompson just blocked Evan Mobley on a post-up attempt. Wow.

Draymond can't keep getting away with this smh
