THE HOUSTON ROCKETS ARE LOOKING SCARY! 😭🚀🔥

The Houston Rockets opened their preseason with a DOMINANT 135-117 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in China! Alperen Sengun was UNSTOPPABLE, recording a TRIPLE-DOUBLE in just 22 minutes with 16 PTS, 10 REB, 10 AST, and 1 STL while shooting 66.7% from the field! 😳

Kevin Durant made his presence felt with an EFFICIENT 15 PTS, 2 AST, and 1 BLK on 7/12 shooting in just 23 minutes! The 2-time Finals MVP barely needed to get going offensively, and Houston STILL dropped 135 points. Fred VanVleet also made an impressive return from his ACL injury, finishing with 17 PTS, 7 AST, 2 STL, and FIVE three-pointers! 🔥

Tari Eason was COOKING with 20 PTS, 9 REB, and 2 STL on 60% shooting, while Amen Thompson contributed 8 PTS, 7 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, and 1 BLK! This Rockets squad has EVERYTHING: elite scoring, playmaking, defense, athleticism, and championship experience. And the craziest part? Kevin Durant didn’t even have to take over. THE WEST BETTER BE READY! 😭🏆🚀

Are the Houston Rockets legitimate championship favorites this season? 👀
