The Rockets lost the game because players other than Alperen Şengün didn't contribute enough. Let's also say that Minnesota played well. Edwards and Randle were a good duo. They share the ball and score high. Alperen Şengün had 38 points and 12 rebounds for the Rockets, but it wasn't enough. Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr. and VanVleet missed a lot of shots. Still, the Rockets are not doing badly. They are still in 3rd place in the West with 21-10.
Jalen Green potential with this Houston Rockets team is probably this most worrying if you ask me, I mean he does seem like a player with the right skill set and his current contract extension does reflect that belief from the franchise, but Jalen Green isn't even playing up to expectation so far this season imho, he's had a quite contrasting below par games than even average performance game, for a player who is supposed to be their major offensive threat, he goes MIA far too often, one day he's scoring 30+, the next he's putting up 9 maybe 10.
