Steven Adams & Kevin Durant IGNITE Houston Rockets Third Quarter TAKEOVER In Kings Blowout
Houston Rockets crush Sacramento Kings as Steven Adams ignites a third-quarter surge. Can Adams’ two-way dominance push Houston even higher in the standings?
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost SportsRadio 610’s Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott) to break down the Rockets’ 121-95 win, spotlighting Adams’ rebounding prowess and defensive leadership that flipped the script after halftime. Insightful analysis covers Alperen Sengun’s fourth-quarter scoring binge, Kevin Durant’s season-best eight assists with zero turnovers, and Jabari Smith Jr.’s physical play in the paint. The episode explores shifting bench roles, lineup tweaks by Ime Udoka, and the looming return of Tari Eason and Dorian Finney-Smith. With Reed Sheppard’s starting spot in question, the show examines Houston’s evolving defensive identity and offensive adjustments.
Is this the version of the Rockets that can make noise in the Western Conference? Find out what this decisive victory means for the team’s momentum and playoff hopes.

Udoka sok çıkar yalnız yaptı Alperen’i
It's certain that Sengun, KD and Amen will play well every game, but without Stevo on the court, this team is nothing like the Rockets and their good play isn't enough to win games, and if Udoka hadn't played him in this game, this game would have been lost too!
👏🏾CONGRATS!

Just do not overlook the fact that Stevens Adam had rested in the previous game. If your roster is wide enough so that you can rest your stars every 5 games or so for a game, I am sure the Rockets will rarely lose a game.
Udoko took Alpi out every time he found his rhythm
I wish Jabari and Alpi would take more shots and shoot many more 3's.
KD is great, but our youngsters should have more shooting opportunities, especially the Jabari.
Alperen kenara gelirken udoka ile hafif gergin bir şekilde konuştularmı yoksa banamı öyle geldi. Udoka lütfen alperen ritmini bulduğu dönemlerde gereksiz bir şekilde kenara alma, bu onun ritmini bozuyor. Alpi, houston takımının 1 numarası unutmayın
Thanks guys
Brandon's connection was very bad. Do you still use 56 K modem ? 😄
Turks are fanatics 😂😂😂 they actually think Alpi is the best player in the world but evil Udoka is sabotaging him 🤦
They don't even watch the fucking game, just zooming in on Alpi and his stats.
Jackson with the haircut and quarter bang?
Ime Udoka is killing the offense. He is not good enough of an offensive coach. He needs to expand his staff. All he does is btching about effort. There is no movement or off ball action on offense. Reed is gonna be lost in this system, along with Alp and Amen. Just watch Denver when Jokic has the ball on the elbow or at the top of the key. There is contant screening and cutting BEFORE the action starts. This team is not gonna get out of West like that. They cannot even get to the conference finals with this offense. All it takes a Steve Adams injury and you are no longer the best offense. And the reason you are the best offense is because of offensive rebounding.
Q3 rebounds were out of this world: rockets outrebounded kings 8 to 5 on king's end!
