Alperen Şengün Dominates in Rockets' Victory Over Spurs

Houston's Şengün outshines Spurs' rookie Wembanyama with a career-high performance, leading to a 114-101 win.

Alperen Şengün scored a career-high 45 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and recorded 5 steals in the Rockets' win against the Spurs.
Şengün's performance overshadowed Spurs' rookie Victor Wembanyama, who scored only 10 points and went scoreless in the second half.
The Rockets' strategy of using Dillon Brooks to guard Wembanyama and double-teaming him proved effective, limiting his impact.
Houston's win ended the Spurs' two-game winning streak and raised questions about the effectiveness of the 'Wemby blueprint' against Wembanyama.
Şengün's exceptional game places him among a select group of players to achieve at least 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 steals in a game over the past 40 seasons.
