Amen Thompson Ignites Rockets in Historic 10-Game Stretch
Amen Thompson is rapidly becoming the name everyone in Houston—and across the NBA—is talking about. Over the last ten games, he has not just played well, he has elevated his entire team’s offense to levels the Houston Rockets haven’t seen in years.
The Rockets are riding a five-game winning streak, outscoring opponents by an average of 20 points per game, including a dominant 34-point win over the Utah Jazz. But the real story isn’t just the team—it’s Thompson’s personal surge. He’s averaging nearly 19 points a game over this stretch, shooting an astounding 55.6 percent from the field and hitting over 86 percent from the free-throw line. This marks a dramatic turnaround from earlier in his career, especially given his struggles with free throws in past seasons.
Thompson’s impact goes beyond scoring. He’s aggressive on the boards, contributing over four rebounds a game and his playmaking has been crucial, with more than five assists per contest. Inside the arc, he’s among the most efficient offensive players in the NBA right now, helping the Rockets sustain an offense that’s putting up 121 points per game over the last ten games—far above the 108 points they averaged earlier this season.

This surge is coming at a critical time. With stars like Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun playing at elite levels, Thompson’s efficiency and versatility give Houston a realistic chance to compete deep into the playoffs. His ability to attack the basket, finish in traffic and create opportunities for teammates has transformed the Rockets’ style of play. Coaches and analysts alike are noting that his rise could make the difference between a first-round exit and a serious playoff run.
What makes this run particularly impressive is Thompson’s adaptability. He stepped up after an injury to Fred VanVleet, embracing a larger role and capitalizing on every opportunity. And while his three-point shooting still has room to grow, his dominance inside the arc and at the free-throw line is making him a game-changer.
As the Rockets push toward the postseason, all eyes will be on Amen Thompson. Can he maintain this level of efficiency under the pressure of playoff basketball? Will Houston be able to leverage his growth alongside Durant and Sengun for a deep run? These questions are now at the center of the NBA conversation.
Stay with us for the latest updates on Amen Thompson and the Houston Rockets, as we continue to track this historic surge and what it means for the NBA playoffs.
