'My confidence is high.' High-flying rookie Jalen Green continues to adapt to the NBA pace, and shows a preview of stardom with a career-high outing against the Lakers. NBA75
MANILA, Philippines – Houston Rockets top rookie Jalen Green has flown under the radar for much of the regular season, but he finally got fans talking about him again after erupting for a career-high 32 points inWith the Lakers desperately hanging on to their playoff hopes at the tail end of the season, the rebuilding Rockets, led by Green, swooped in to notch just their third win in the last 20 games, and sent LA further down its problematic spiral.
“My teammates looked for me, my confidence is high, and we’re just trying to end the season the best way we can,” he said after the game. “Tonight, my teammates looked for me in overtime, and I just kept going. I had locked in, and we won, so yeah, I’m happy.”The 20-year-old high-flyer, who traces his roots to Ilocos Sur, completely took over in overtime, and scored 10 of the Rockets’ 19 points in the extra period.
This was a far cry from Green’s first 18 career games, where he had seven single-digit scoring outings, and averaged just 14.0 points on a 38% clip and 28% from deep despite playing at least 31 minutes a night.
