The final buzzer is sounded for the NBA regular season.

As the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers rested their stars,

they got a visit from the Houston Rockets and their Filipino-American star Jalen Green.

The Sunday game, which carried no impact on the playoff picture,

ended in a 116-105 win for Houston.

Green scored 13 points for the team while grabbing six rebounds.

The film wrapped his third NBA season playing all 82 games,

averaging just under 20 points per game as he continued to flash his potential.

I stuck it out and found who I am in the whole rebuild of the season.

I had to break some habits.

I'm still breaking habits to the last game, but I think I figured it out.

I think I'll have a good carry-on for next season.

The win caps off a 41-41 season for the Rockets,

marking their best finish since Green was selected as the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2015.

The Rockets won 20 games during Green's rookie season,

followed by 22 wins in his second season.

Under their new coach Amiyo Doka and several key free agent pickups,

the Rockets went on an 11-game winning streak in March,

keeping them alive in the playoff picture late into the season.

Compared to other years, my first two years were pretty rough.

We wasn't even looking at being 500 at the end of the season.

So just to see that, that was one of my goals this year.

We talked about it in the locker room.

I said 44 wins, but we got 41.

And I think it's awesome.

You know, it shows that next year we have a shot at being in the playoffs.

So we were chasing playoffs this year, and that was fun.

It was exciting out there.

While the Rockets finished 11th in the competitive Western Conference,

the Utah Jazz finished 12th.

Their Phil-Am guard Jordan Clarkson continued to shine on the court,

securing his first career triple-double.

However, injuries to several key players,

including Clarkson, put a damper on their season.

In just 55 games, Clarkson averaged about 17 points per game

to go along with a career-high 5 assists per game.

Ron Harper Jr. appeared in one game for the Toronto Raptors

while also spending time with their G League affiliate this season.

But the second-year player was waived by the Raptors

after a shoulder injury ended his season early.

While the season is over for Filipino-American players,

a couple of Filipino-American coaches are hoping to lead their teams

to deep postseason runs.

Over in the Western Conference,

the Sacramento Kings and assistant coach Jimmy Alapag

finished 9th in the West

and will have to face the Golden State Warriors

in the play-in tournament.

Defending Eastern Conference champions Miami Heat,

led by Phil-Am head coach Eric Spolstra,

finished 8th in the Eastern Conference.

Just as they did last year,

the Heat will have to survive the play-in tournament.

They'll face the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Yeah, looking forward to it.

It'll be a great environment.

Philly's been playing fantastic.

You know,

recently,

you know,

so we know what to expect up there.

And that is what we say,

you know,

it's for competitors only.

And it should be a lot of fun.

The NBA postseason begins with the play-in tournament on Tuesday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder is top seed in the West

with the defending champion Denver Nuggets in the number two seed.

Both teams shared a 57-25 record,

while the Celtics have the league's best record at 64-18.
