Houston Rockets' Alperen Sengun shoots as New Orleans Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas defends during the first half of an NBA basketball game Sunday, March 19, 2023, in Houston. The Rockets had their usual math problem with the Pelicans hitting the 3-pointers that the Rockets missed. They have become accustomed to the issue, having been forced to try to overcome the immutable fact that 3s are worth more than 2s.
Jalen Green had 40 points, two shy of his career high, making 14 of 14 free throws. Kevin Porter Jr. added 25. Between them, they made 7 of 18 3s. The rest of the Rockets, however, went 2 of 15 from the 3-point line. Only Tari Eason, who had 10 points, also scored in double figures. Green scored 16 of his 40 points in the third quarter, seeming entirely under control as he worked to find shots in the lane or drove to draw fouls.
The game was Green’s 11th this season scoring at least 30 points. He had eight 30-point games as a rookie, giving him the ninth most 30-point games for a player 21 or younger through the first 132 games of his career.Late in the Rockets’ win on Friday, the Pelicans missed four shots they would normally consider to be great looks. Trey Murphy III missed a pair of open 3s. Ingram twice missed mid-range jumpers.
