Reed Sheppard IGNITES Rockets COMEBACK Vs Bucks | Kevin Durant & Alperen Sengun DOMINATE 4th Quarter
Houston Rockets stun Milwaukee Bucks with Reed Sheppard’s breakout game. Can the Reed’s emergence unlock championship potential?
Reed Sheppard delivered his best performance with 16 points and 4 steals, earning praise from Kevin Durant who called him “the reason they won this game.” The analysis covers Durant’s efficient 31-point outing against Giannis Antetokounmpo, Alperen Sengun’s dominant fourth quarter including a jaw-dropping and-one over Giannis and Myles Turner, and the Rockets’ suffocating defense that held Milwaukee to just 4 points in the final three minutes. Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) breaks down Houston’s 50-27 rebounding advantage, Amen Thompson’s all-around contributions, and why Sheppard’s spacing ability could eventually earn him a starting role alongside Durant and Sengun.
Key topics include the Rockets’ defensive intensity in crunch time, Sengun’s versatility as both scorer and facilitator, and how improved ball security fueled the 122-115 comeback victory.
Discover how Houston’s young core is developing into a legitimate playoff contender.

Amen is not playing good and he is not effective in these hard games… We need Amen back as he was in easy 5 game win,Amen needs to be better when he is challenged by athletic players like him
That sequence late with Sengun dribbling and crossing Giannis then getting the and 1 was EPIC! 🏀🔥😎
Man we seriously need to stop staying in zone it’s killing us we give up so many points we literally have the guys to be able to play man
Miles Turner couldn’t guard Alp to save his life 🤣
Play of the game was the Reed steal and then corner 3. It changed some momentum.
Rockets just grabbed another offensive rebound
How did Cole Anthony forget how to play basketball after the half lol. – aye yo calm down bro 😂
Ngl alpi needs to stop crying so much . I love him but it’s annoying
Steven did good work, he and Reed got things moving late in the 3rd, 9pt swing to get within 2. Love big kiwis work
Dont say Reed stacking up great games! Reed’s defense is still terrible. Offensively he cool though to give him credit.
Josh is more valuable to the starting lineup than reed i know Josh had one offensive game but we need his defense more than his offense
Last sequence with Alpi was as anime as it gets.
The Adams & Reed combo was looking awesome this game. The pick and roll action was nice.
Reed is very impressive, very smart instinctive and efficient
Giannis is one of the three most feared players in the entire league. A center can grab a rebound on a game-winning possession, take it without giving it to anyone, and then pass Giannis and draw a basket foul. Not even fv.fleet can do that.
Awesome team win! It was good to see Sengun stop his arms raising and complaining and just play high level ball. He just took over and closed out the game. When he waved off the help vs Giannis near the end and was like I got him we got so pumped at home! Let's gooooo!
Reed is progressing nicely. KD did the job he was traded to do, in part. Defense was still a bit inconsistent, but I am confident it will get better. Sengun continues paving the road to his first All-NBA selection.
I miss camwitmore so much. Tari is only making 3's nothing else no rim pressure no midrange not enough of steal and fast breaks with finish. If didn't want to extend Tari why we didn't keep witmore? he was a lot cheaper
The zone defense is killing me man. You can see how many easy pts rockets are conceding.
Your ability to solo carry an insightful and entertaining show day-in-day-out is really impressive bro
