Alperen Sengun delivered an impressive performance in Friday’s Game 3, scoring 33 points and grabbing 16 rebounds, but his effort wasn’t enough to secure a victory for the Rockets against the Lakers. Sengun’s all-around contribution, including six assists and defensive plays, highlighted his impact on the game. Despite his standout showing, the Rockets faltered late in the match without Kevin Durant, and now face a must-win situation in Game 4 to stay in the playoff race.
