Alperen Sengun said Houston deserved to advance after losing its six-game playoff series to the Los Angeles Lakers, claiming the Rockets beat them in every statistic. He said the Lakers’ experience in clutch moments was decisive; Kevin Durant played one game before an injury.
The Lakers won the final two games to take the series and advance to the Western Conference semifinals. Sengun said that after Durant was injured, he, Jabari and Amen had to take on leadership roles.
