The Houston Rockets are currently second in the Western Conference as their young talent has really grown together and developed in a big way under coach Ime Udoka. The Los Angeles Lakers witnessed that up close on Sunday as Jalen Green scored 33 points, but it could be argued that second-year forward Amen Thompson was the real difference maker.
Thompson finished with 23 points and a game-high 16 rebounds with six of those coming on the offensive end. The offensive glass was arguably the biggest factor in the Rockets defeating the Lakers and Thompson crushed them on that front.
