Rockets Guard Jalen Green Is a 'Huge Weapon', Says Head Coach Ime Udoka
The Houston Rockets were able to break their three-game losing streak in their last game against Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and the rest of the Phoenix Suns.
The team won the game 118-109, and they outperformed Phoenix is just about every statistical category. The star of the game for the Rockets was Jalen Green, and head coach Ime Udoka talked more about the impact that the young guard had in his postgame interview.

"He's been playing great lately," Udoka said. "Fred (VanVleet) does it in his own way, but Jalen getting downhill and attacking the paint, you really have to collapse on him once he gets by his man... We want to be as multidimensional as we can with multiple guys being able to impact the offense. I think when he's at his best, he gives us another huge weapon."
Green finished with 34 points as well as nine rebounds and four assists, as he stuffed every part of the stat sheet.
Before these past two games against the Suns, Green had not scored 20 points or more for the previous six contest. But in both of his last two games, the former second overall pick has finished with 34 points. The Rockets will look for him to continue this play, as he could be a key for the team moving forward.
Green and the rest of the Rockets will be back in action on Tuesday against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CT from the Toyota Center.
