Green showcased his scoring prowess by tying his career-high with an outstanding 42 points. The third-year guard was unstoppable, shooting 12 of 21 from the field and an impressive 7 of 13 from beyond the arc, while also contributing 10 rebounds to his stat line.
Joining Green in the scoring effort were several key contributors, including Amen Thompson, who delivered a career-best performance with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Jabari Smith Jr. also made his presence felt with 18 points and 14 rebounds, marking his 16th double-double of the season, matching his career-high from the previous year.
Despite a valiant effort from the Wizards, led by Corey Kispert with 16 points and Jared Butler with 15, they were unable to contain the Rockets' offensive onslaught.
The victory further solidifies the Rockets' position as a force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference, as they continue their quest for a spot in the postseason.
With Jalen Green leading the charge and the team firing on all cylinders, the Rockets look poised to make a strong push in the remaining games of the season.
