Early in the NBA playoff game between the Warriors and Rockets, Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun powerfully dunked over Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors.
Right at the start of Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series, Sengun, after an offensive foul on the first possession, quickly retaliated against Green with a forceful dunk.
Rockets guard Jalen Green passed to Sengun, who, catching the ball, elevated over Green and executed a spectacular dunk. This highlight play occurred within the first two minutes of the game.
These players have a history of matchups, with Green receiving a flagrant foul 1 in a recent game for elbowing Sengun during their April 6th encounter.
In the regular season, Sengun averaged 19.1 points and 10.3 rebounds, earning his first All-Star selection. Houston is playing in the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
