Houston Rockets superstar shooting guard Jalen Green is thrilled to be a part of the winning ways this season. It's the first time in Green's career that the Rockets will have won more than 41 games. Green was selected in the 2021 NBA draft by the Rockets with the second overall pick.
"It feels good as I get the question asked to me all the time as I have never been in this situation before. I don't want to get too high at the moment as I just want to enjoy the moment and what we are doing. At the same time, I want to make sure we keep our feet on the gas," said Green
Green and the Rockets have found a a formula that they think works and allows them to win games.
"We get offensive rebounds that lead to second-chance points, and we get it out to our shooters and our bigs going to do what they do. Defense and rebounds have been our main thing since the beginning of the season. I think we live for that moment, but I think we have a lot left to do but offensively we are going to do what we do as that's the main point that allows us to do what we do," said Green
