Facing the New Orleans Pelicans on the road, the Turkish star stuffed the stat sheet and displayed an all-around masterclass to lead his team’s 134-102 dominant victory.Â
In 32 minutes of play, Sengun feasted with 36 points in 12-of-23 shooting (5-of-6 from three-pointers), with 13 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and three blocks.
In the entire history of the NBA, no other player tallied a stat line similar to what Sengun just recorded against the Pelicans. More impressively, the big man didn’t even register a turnover.
This 2025-26 season serves as another huge year for Sengun, who has been the Rockets’ lead man along with Kevin Durant. In 65 games, he is averaging 20.7 points in nearly 52 percent shooting with 9.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks.
Currently sixth in the West with a 45-29 record, Sengun and the Rockets will look to climb further in the West standings with two weeks left in the regular season. They will return home to face the New York Knicks on Tuesday.
