Career-best marks in both 3-point frequency and accuracy certainly speak to Jalen Green’s ability to iron the wrinkles in his game, but as the Houston Rockets know, the real party often begins once flight No. 4 jets towards the paint. Incorporating almost every around-the-rim scoring variation into March 25, 2025’s highlight tape, Green hunts for something of the jaw-dropping type during an early-game screen-and-roll test against the “Great Barrier Thief.” Innovative enough in his handle to avoid being plucked, Green splits through rush hour traffic with a behind-the-back dribble, only to again leave eyebrows raised just seconds later with a euphoric tomahawk flush. Enjoying the most fruitful campaign of his NBA career to date, Green also crossed the 6,000-point barrier, ultimately positioning himself to become No. 15 on the Rockets’ franchise scoring leaderboard. Blessing the highlight reel creators whenever he ventured towards the paint, Green overwhelmed the Atlanta Hawks through 32 points (on 14-of-24 shooting), paired with 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and a 3-pointer. · Mar 26, 2025
