If it hadn’t been for some mistakes at the free throw line in the remaining seconds of the game, Alperen Sengun would have played the perfect game as the Houston Rockets hosted the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Going only seven points away from his career-high in scoring, the Turkish gem erupted for a double-double of 38 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 16/25 from the field but not delivering perfectly at the charity stripe, as the opponents managed to take advantage.
With a step-back three by Anthony Edwards in the remaining possessions of the game, the Timberwolves found the 113-112 win on the road. Rudy Gobert went close to a double-double in the win at 7 points and 9 rebounds.
