Jalen Green's impressive 41-point performance propelled the Rockets to a 122-115 victory in overtime against the 76ers.

Jalen Green achieved a season-high of 41 points, while Alperen Sengun contributed 22 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Houston Rockets to a 122-115 overtime victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night. Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points, with 28 of those coming in the second half, but his efforts were not enough for Philadelphia, which was without Paul George and Joel Embiid, resulting in a record of 3-14. Maxey managed to tie the game with three free throws with just over 11 seconds remaining but did not score in overtime. Green showcased his scoring prowess in the first quarter, netting 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting. However, it was Sengun, the 6-foot-11 center from Turkey, who excelled late in the game against a smaller Philadelphia lineup that focused on containing Green. Amen Thompson added 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Tari Eason contributed 14 points for Houston (14-6). Guerschon Yabusele led the scoring for the Sixers with 22 points.

Key Observations: Rockets: Houston's rebounding strength remains a significant advantage, as they entered the game leading the league with an average of 49.9 rebounds per game and outperformed the Sixers on the boards, 52-42. 76ers: Philadelphia continues to seek offensive solutions beyond Maxey, given the absence of both George and Embiid. Yabusele provided some offensive support on Wednesday, but Jared McCain struggled, scoring 15 points on 6-of-19 shooting.

Crucial Moment: After Yabusele opened overtime with a corner three-pointer, giving the Sixers a three-point lead, the Rockets responded with a 9-0 run, highlighted by three layups from Sengun following Green's game-tying free throws.

Noteworthy Statistic: Through 17 games, Philadelphia has secured only one victory in regulation.

Upcoming Matches: The Rockets will host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday, while the 76ers will face the Detroit Pistons on Saturday.
