Rockets FALL APART Vs Kings In OT, Kevin Durant & Alperen Sengun FAIL To Deliver In Clutch AGAIN

Houston Rockets fumble another double-digit lead, falling 125-124 to the Sacramento Kings in overtime—can this squad be trusted in crunch time? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) spotlights the Rockets’ ongoing struggles with late-game execution and questionable play-calling, despite big nights from Kevin Durant and Alperen Şengün. Turnovers, missed assignments, and a shocking 19 offensive rebounds from the Kings fueled a brutal collapse, while Jabari Smith Jr.'s crucial missed free throw and Tari Eason’s critical late game error add to the drama.

Gatlin recaps Ime Udoka’s candid assessment as the Rockets’ coach shoulders blame for a lackluster effort and motivation against a struggling opponent. Key talking points include the Rockets’ reliance on Durant and Şengün, visible absence of Fred VanVleet’s leadership, and whether a trade is urgently needed to stabilize late-game woes. Are the Rockets approaching “fraud watch,” or can they right the ship before it’s too late?
