Despite the loss, Amen Thompson exploded for a career-high 41 PTS!
41 PTS (17-22 FGM)
9 REB
7 AST
2 STL
He's the first Rockets player in franchise history to record 40+ PTS, 5+ REB, and 5+ AST in a game on at least 75% shooting 👏
Amen's drives have been super effective for Houston lately. HOU is getting 1.23 points per direct drive from Amen since the All-Star break, the 4th-best mark in the league among the 50 players with the most total drives. That's up from 1.05 pts per direct pre-All-Star break.
Are the Rockets a contender? No
Is the team at least fun to watch? No
Do we have faith that we have the right GM in place? No
Right coach? No
Are we going to get out of R1? Probably not
Have we at least avoided any embarrassing social media scandals this season? Also no
In all seriousness losing a 2:30pm Saturday game in Miami isn’t the worst thing in the world (only under the circumstance that the team went out clubbing last night)
