ALPEREN SENGUN 4TH QUARTER TAKEOVER 🗣️ Via @HoustonRockets on X

What happened: Alperen Sengun led Houston through the fourth quarter against San Antonio. His late run included a dunk over Spurs center Victor Wembanyama.

Why it matters: The fourth-quarter run follows a 23-point, 10-rebound double-double two nights earlier, when Sengun, Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. combined for 83 points in a Houston win. It also comes at a time of rising expectations for the same Sengun who closed out a preseason triple-double, as Houston's frontcourt core is pushed for an All-NBA jump.

By the numbers: Previous game: 23 points, 10 rebounds in a Houston win; Sengun, Durant and Smith Jr. combined for 83 points.

What to watch: Watch for the final score and Sengun's full stat line, plus how his matchup with Wembanyama shaped the result.
