The Houston Rockets secured a narrow 100-96 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, thanks largely to Jalen Green's impressive 25-point performance.

Despite the Hawks initially taking control with a strong first quarter, the Rockets managed to claw back, led by Green's offensive surge in the second period. The Rockets outshot the Hawks but struggled with turnovers, allowing Atlanta to maintain a slim lead at halftime.

In a tense final quarter, Houston established a 16-point lead before Atlanta made a late push, but Alperen Sengun sealed the game with crucial free throws.
