Alperen Şengün notched a double-double for the third consecutive game on Friday, contributing 25 points and 14 rebounds in Houston’s victory over the Timberwolves. Despite a disappointing 3-of-9 performance from the free throw line, Şengün filled the stat sheet with three assists, one steal, and one block. His efforts were pivotal in the win, even as foul trouble limited his late-game minutes. The Rockets anticipate a favorable matchup for Şengün against the Pelicans on Sunday.
