Victory for the Rockets, who see a 15-point lead evaporate at the start of the game but rely on Alperen Sengun in the final minutes. The Turkish big man scores 10 of his 25 points with 14 rebounds in the fourth quarter, winning the direct duel with Karl-Anthony Towns (17+19) on a night in which the Texans dominate in the paint, scoring 62 points against the visitors’ 38. Jalen Brunson’s 29 points and OG Anunoby’s 21 aren’t enough for the Knicks to extend their streak of two wins in a row.
