Some Houston Rockets team notes from the past week:
Over the past three games, Armoni Brooks is averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists… he has hit 11 3-pointers over that span and has the third-most 3FGM (97) through the first 42 games played of a career in NBA history.
Alperen Sengun has scored 10+ points in four of the past five games after doing so twice the eight games prior… he had a career-high tying 15 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks in 23 minutes of play at Memphis on 12/11, becoming the first player to have posted those numbers while playing 25 or fewer minutes since James Harden did so against the Grizzlies on 3/14/16.
The Rockets have shot 47.0% or better from the floor in six straight games for the first time in a single season since 3/16-3/27/14… Houston is 7-4 when outshooting its opponent this season.
Houston has outrebounded its opponent in six of the past 11 games after doing so five time the first 15 games of the season… dating back to last season, the Rockets are 18-12 when outrebounding their opponent.
