Postgame Show: Sengun, Smith Jr., Rockets take preseason opener

There was no Kevin Durant, which was a definite disappointment, but the Rockets opened their preseason Monday night with a 122-113 home win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Ben Dubose and I went live on the ClutchFans YouTube account for postgame, discussing the impactful first quarter from Jabari Smith Jr., the offensive burst from Alperen Sengun in the second quarter and the impressive play of JD Davison.

We also discussed the defense, the point guard play from Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard as well as an early outlook for the 2025-26 season.
