Author of a good performance against the Blazers this Monday, Jalen Green guided the Rockets to a victory (110-92). At the end of this evening, the young back even took the liberty of issuing a big warning to the Warriors.

As the season nears its end, several teams are trying to consolidate their place for the playoffs, while others are hoping for the moment to qualify for the play in. The Rockets find themselves precisely in the latter scenario. Faced with a team largely within their reach on paper, which are the Blazers, the Houston franchise, 11th in the West, had to achieve an important victory.

The mission was successfully accomplished, thanks in particular to Jalen Green, who put in a good performance with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Enough to put pressure on the Warriors, who are placed in 10th position in this same conference. And if this triumph wasn’t enough to worry them, the 22-year-old took it upon himself verbally after his match.

Jalen Green’s warning to the Warriors

 

 

How much is Jalen Green focused on racing for play in? “I look at the rankings every day,” he said. “I watched the Warriors last night. We are catching up with them.” Will Green watch the Warriors tomorrow night? ” Yes of course. Here we go. »

In this final stretch before the end of the season, the Rockets are on the lookout for the slightest misstep on the part of the Warriors.

Although the year has been complicated for the latter, their title ambitions still remain. And for that, they will probably have to play in the play-in before hoping to qualify for the playoffs. But we still need to not be overtaken in the standings by the Texans, who are just behind with a record of 36 victories and 35 defeats, just one more failure.

Suffice it to say that these teams almost no longer have the right to make mistakes because that would possibly mean abandoning their hopes for the playoffs. The two franchises have already faced each other twice this year and the 2022 champions have emerged victorious in these meetings. However, a final confrontation between the two will take place on April 5 and will perhaps be decisive for the outcome of their season.

The season is soon coming to an end but some teams like the Rockets are fighting in the hope of initially reaching play in. As a result, Jalen Green wanted to warn the Warriors because his team intends to dislodge them from their 10th place in the West.
