Takeaways and observations from the Rockets' win over the Pacers in the preseason finale...
Jalen Green #4 of the Houston Rockets shoots the ballagainst the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on October 14, 2022 in Indianapolis, Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS — The Rockets’ preseason finale was not perfect. It got ragged in the fourth quarter. The enormous lead shriveled.
Rockets coach Stephen Silas said the absences have impacted his decision-making on his rotation “a lot.” He said every player out on Friday “will be in our playing group.” “They’re coming back slowly, but Jabari did some non-contact stuff,” Silas said. “With Garrison, Nix and Tate, it’s kind of wait and see.”From the start, Rockets center Alperen Sengun seemed more engaged, more energetic than in Miami. That might have been because he got a few early touches, but they were not anywhere near the low post he prefers.
Turning things around that way was significant because of the way he seemed to grow frustrated in Miami, where he made just 1 of 5 shots with every miss blocked before a nearly intentional charge. This time, he played harder, including a dive after a loose ball.
