The Houston Rockets are in impeccable form. On Tuesday, March 19, they secured a commanding 137-114 road victory against the struggling Washington Wizards at the Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C.
Rockets guard Jalen Green spearheaded the charge for the visiting team, matching his career-high with 42 points on 12-of-21 shooting.
When asked about his motivation behind his stellar stretch, Green provided a touching response.
"My family, my baby," the 22-year-old said.
In addition to his scoring prowess, he added ten rebounds, three assists, one block, and one steal, extending his impressive streak of sensational performances.
Meanwhile, former Basketball Wives star Draya Michele revealed earlier this month that she is pregnant and expecting a baby girl with the Rockets star.
The Rockets have now extended their winning streak to six games, maintaining the 11th spot in the highly competitive Western Conference standings. Their win-loss record is now 33-35, 2.5 games behind the 10th-seed Golden State Warriors.
