On November 9, 2025, the Houston Rockets faced the Milwaukee Bucks in a high-stakes road tilt that featured one of the most polished performances of this young season from Alperen Şengün. According to multiple recaps, Şengün posted 23 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists while helping Houston claw back from a double-digit deficit to win 122–115. What stands out: ✅ Control in the big moments — With under 4 minutes left, the Rockets trailed 108-107. Şengün’s and-1 basket then separated Houston from the Bucks with 23.4 seconds remaining. ✅ Offensive versatility — Šengün wasn’t just scoring in the paint. He orchestrated offense with 7 assists and stretched the defense with confident mid-range and post-moves. ✅ Outplaying Giannis on the scoreboard — The Bucks’ star Giannis tallied 37 points and 8 rebounds, yet the Rockets’ late game surge — heavily fueled by Şengün and the veteran Kevin Durant — tilted the game. ✅ Momentum shift — The Rockets went on a 22-7 run in the last 4 minutes 49 seconds to erase Milwaukee’s lead. That surge was initiated by Şengün’s scoring and Durant’s veteran execution. This wasn’t just a stat line. It was a statement: Şengün imposed his will, played with poise, and executed with maturity far beyond his years when the game hung in the balance. The rookie’s performance against a superstar-led team and a high-profile opponent like Giannis confirms he’s not just a promising piece — he’s a matchup nightmare. #AlperenSengun #RocketNation #NBAHighlights #NBAMoments #HoustonRockets #GiannisAntetokounmpo #Bucks #NBA2025 #AYOMoments #BigManGame ---
