The Houston Rockets are on the brink of elimination as they prepare for Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors. With a disappointing loss in Game 4, where they fell 109-106, the Rockets rely heavily on the performance of young star Jalen Green. Known for his explosive scoring, Green has struggled in recent games, scoring only 9 and 8 points in the last two outings. Despite his ups and downs in the playoffs, teammate Fred VanVleet expressed unwavering confidence in Green's potential, suggesting he holds the talent to become one of the league's best shooting guards.

Green's regular-season performance was nothing short of impressive, averaging 21 points along with 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists, showcasing his ability to contribute across multiple facets of the game. As the Rockets head into Game 5, they desperately need Green to rekindle his scoring prowess to avoid elimination and keep their playoff hopes alive.
