The NBA announced on Monday that Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green was named Western Conference Player of the Week for games played from Monday, January 13 through Sunday, January 19. This was the second time in Green’s career to earn such honors. The first occurrence came last season in mid-March.

Despite their strong record and Green’s breakout, skepticism lingers over whether the Rockets' success is sustainable. Young teams often face growing pains in the playoffs, where experience and composure are critical. If the Rockets falter early, it could validate concerns that they should have pursued a star to pair with their youthful core.

Unfortunately, the Thunder wasted an all-time showing from star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The 26-year-old had 52 points on 16-of-29 from the field and an 18-of-21 clip from the free-throw line in a massive outing. In turn, Gilgeous-Alexander set a few NBA marks in the loss, and the NBA announced the history he made after the game.
