Amen Thompson Is Playing at an All-Star Level as Rockets Extend Win Streak to Seven

The Houston Rockets have won seven straight, and Amen Thompson is the reason nobody should be surprised. In the latest win over the Suns, Thompson put up 22 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals — a stat line that screams franchise cornerstone.

Over his last 10 games, Thompson has been averaging 17.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists while shooting 52.5% from the field. Those are All-Star numbers from a 21-year-old who's only getting better. The Rockets are now 50-29 and tied with the Lakers for the 4-seed in the West.

Houston's seven-game win streak is their longest of the season and couldn't come at a better time. With three games left, they're fighting for home court in the first round. If Thompson keeps playing like this, whoever draws the Rockets in Round 1 is in for a problem.
