Jalen Green shared that his daughter with Draya Michele was the motivation for his hot streak late in the season
The Houston Rockets failed to get into the postseason after falling behind to the eleventh place in the Western Conference with a 41-41 record. However, there was a time late in the season when it looked like they might steal a Play-In tournament spot from the Golden State Warriors.
The Rockets went on an 11-game winning streak from Mar. 8 to Mar. 29 and Jalen Green's performance was a huge proponent for the team's hot streak.
After the All-Star break, Green averaged 22.8 points and 5.8 rebounds. He also shot 44.1% from the field and 36.8% from beyond the arc. His averages on these stats before the All-Star break? 18.0 points and 4.8 boards on 41.1 FG% and 30.7% from downtown.
During their Mar. 19 matchup against the Washington Wizards, the Rockets guard scored 42 points. In his post-game interview, he was asked what was motivating his stellar play after the All-Star break.
"My family," Green replied before adding, "my baby."
Ultimately, the Rockets would fail to catch up to the Warriors as they lost six of their last nine games. However, they gave their home fans something to look forward to and their front office something to build upon for the next few seasons.
As for Draya Michele and Jalen Green's relationship, while the pair were the subject of fan discussion due to their age difference, they appear to be happy and excited to welcome their daughter to the world.
