Why Alperen Sengun & Houston Rockets Lost In Overtime To Cavaliers, Jalen & Jabari's Struggles

Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost Rockets Wire Editor Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) to discuss the Houston Rockets 135-130 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and why this game got away from them in OT. The biggest reason the Rockets lost this game, Fred VanVleet's incredible night (27 pts, 17 ast, 2 TOs), Rockets late-game execution and decison-making, Alperen Sengun with a chance to win the game in regulation + playing through foul trouble, Tari Eason again with an enormous impact off the Rockets bench, closing out for the 3rd time in the last 4 games, why Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr. both struggled and the very different reasons for their struggles and more.
