Alperen Sengun career highs: Running through the best games of Sengun's career

3. January 13, 2023 @ Los Angeles Lakers

Stats: 33 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks

There's always something special about playing the Lakers. They're the biggest show in town. On the 13th, that distinction almost went to Sengun.

Instead, it went to LeBron James. He carried the Lakers to a win with an astonishing 48 points, 9 assists, and 8 rebounds. Still, we won't hold it against Sengun if he was outplayed by one of the best players in NBA history.

Sengun was still the second-best player in this contest. He put his array of low-post moves on full display. His 4 blocks also demonstrated an ability to defend the rim despite his physical limitations.

It wasn't enough to stop the Lakers. They pulled out a 140-132 win in this one, but we can't blame Sengun.
