[Saba Sports News] Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green turned heads with a stunning and-1 play against Minnesota Timberwolves’ Rudy Gobert, causing a stir on social media.
In the game’s final minutes at the Target Center in Minneapolis, with the Timberwolves leading 98-85, Green blew by forward Jaden McDaniels and took on Gobert in the paint. Initially gearing up for a dunk, Green switched tactics mid-air to complete the play with a layup, showcasing remarkable aerial agility against the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Gobert.
Despite Green’s impressive performance, finishing with a game-high 26 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, the Rockets fell short, losing 113-106 to the Timberwolves. This loss came on the heels of an 11-game winning streak, putting the Rockets’ playoff aspirations in jeopardy as they dropped to the 11th seed.
The upcoming game against the 10th seed Golden State Warriors in San Francisco promises high stakes and intensity, with both teams having exchanged barbs, setting the stage for a playoff-like showdown.
