Alperen Sengun had 27 points (16 in the paint) and 10 rebounds, and the Houston Rockets beat the Detroit Pistons 101-99.
Sengun’s putback answered Isaiah Stewart’s cutting layup and put the Rockets back ahead for good with 2:28 left in the fourth quarter.
The Pistons had the ball down 2 with 29 seconds left, but Fred VanVleet stole the ball from Tobias Harris, lifting the Rockets’ chance to win from 76% to 86%. A basket would have tied the game. They had the ball down 2 after a timeout, but Jaden Ivey missed a step-back 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left that would have put them ahead.
During clutch time, the Rockets outscored the Pistons 14-11. Sengun scored 5 of the Rockets’ 14 on 2 for 3 shooting and 1 for 2 at the line.
For the Pistons, Cade Cunningham had 26 points (14 in the paint), 8 rebounds and 9 assists, and Stewart added 16 points and 8 rebounds on 7 for 9 shooting.
The Pistons gave up 17 offensive rebounds, about 6 more than usual for the shots the Rockets missed. Paul Reed fouled out.

On the court, each shot is the shooter’s face (gray when he missed), bigger the more it moved the chance.
