The Houston Rockets kept their series alive with a 115–96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4, giving themselves a slim chance to claw back from a 3–0 deficit.
With Game 5 set for Wednesday, Houston big man Alperen Sengun believes the team can keep the momentum going and force the series back home for another game.
“The mood is good. We got one, but we’re not happy with it,” Sengun said, as Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops.net relays.
“We’re going back to L.A. to fight again, no matter what. … I think we have been confident, just missing the shots. In the last game, we played with pace. We made them turn over a lot. Everybody did their job great.
“I think everybody is still hungry, and we are going over there to get another one, and come back home, and make them a little nervous.”
So far in the series, Sengun has been a standout, averaging 22.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game.
