Jalen Green with another 3, has 25. He’s scored at least 25 in six-consecutive games, matching the longest run of his career. – 10:01 PM

VanVleet picks up his fifth foul a minute into the fourth quarter. Jalen Green returns 62 seconds into the fourth quarter. Not VanVleet’s night. He is 3 of 15, 0 for 6 on 3s. – 9:56 PM

The Rockets defense has taken over at one end and Jalen Green has taken over at the other end – 9:47 PM

Umm Jalen Green took off from just inside the free throw line on that fast break dunk. He literally soared through the air – 9:38 PM

Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet are a combined 5-for-27 from the field and have attempted just 2 free throws – 9:28 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Ime Udoka challenges a charge called on Jalen Green. This one is going to be close. Reath got over quickly. The question is whether he slid just a bit to his right before contact. – 9:03 PM

Udoka calls timeout to challenge a Scott Foster charge call against Jalen Green – 9:02 PM

This season, Jalen Green is allowing just .840 points per isolation possession (70th percentile), a better mark than Wolves stalwart Jaden McDaniels.
On Green’s defensive growth and why it necessitates more attention than his jaw-dropping highlights.

Anthony Davis named Western Conference Player of Week. Derrick White in the Eastern Conference. Jalen Green averaged nearly 10 more points than Davis, but Davis averaged 16.7 rebounds and shot 68.6 % (Green 56.9 %.) Green will have to keep it up to land player of month. – 3:35 PM

“The competitiveness is there and less mistakes in the rotations, schemes and coverages.”
On Jalen Green’s vastly-improved defense which, like his recent offensive tear, should be appreciated — and is more important in the long run.

Bill Simmons says that watching Jalen Green in March, he’s reminded of a young, late-90s Kobe Bryant.
“Watching him the last couple of weeks, it’s like, man, if you were just drawing a two-guard from scratch, from a scoring standpoint, what kind of move or shot doesn’t he have?” pic.twitter.com/4TBtrxxTMx – 6:56 AM
