Watch Alperen Sengun show off 2 players with a mid-spin
Houston Rockets star Alperen Sengun was a man on a mission all Monday night. He torched the Memphis Grizzlies defense for 33 points in a 108-99 win to move them to 28-16 on the season, and he did it with such loud noises that they must have demoralized the Grizzlies, dashing their hopes one possession at a time.
There might not have been a louder Sengun than the one he had in the fourth quarter with just over six minutes left in the period. With the Grizzlies going small, the Rockets star had Santi Aldama as his primary defender. Sengun then proceeded to leave Aldama in the dust with a powerful dribble into a spinning move heading to the right, and proceeded to throw nasty tomahawk over two defenders β with GG Jackson running late to block the dunk.

Sengun had several thunderous dunks on the night, with another one coming earlier in the game in transition. The Rockets star was so nailed that he only missed two shots on the night despite having a monster night with 33 points.
This version of Sengun is what makes the Rockets such a scary team to face, because when he gets going the way he did on Monday, it becomes ridiculously difficult to stop him.
Rockets’ Kevin Durant signs deal
Although Sengun dominated the start of the fourth for the Rockets, it turned out to be just a setup for Kevin Durant to get the job done. He drilled two straight 3-pointers late in the contest to keep the Grizzlies at bay, and this will surely be a one-two punch the Rockets rely on as they look to make a deep playoff run.
Durant answered Sengun band after band, as he also recorded 33 of his spots.
