Houston Rockets / Schedule
After Thursday's 109-99 loss against the Charlotte Hornets, Udoka was asked about Sengun being hunted on defense in pick-and-rolls in the last two games. As such, he dropped a blunt response regarding the Turkish big man.
"It's been the case since I've been here, so no different there," Udoka plainly said.
Sengun was brutal throughout the Rockets' matchup against the Hornets. He only registered a passive seven points in 3-of-11 shooting across 28 minutes of play.
Moussa Diabate even outplayed him, as the Hornets big man dropped seven points in 3-of-5 shots with 12 boards.
A clip already went viral showing Kevin Durant's frustration with Sengun's lack of defensive effort against the Hornets.
