In their fourth game in five nights, the Houston Rockets were ambushed by the Oklahoma City Thunder, losing in harsh fashion, 124-94.
The Rockets trailed by only five points after the first quarter, but towards the end of the half, Oklahoma City put the game in a head lock, squeezing out a 16-0 run that effectively put the game out of reach. The Thunder had 68 points by halftime, and looked completely unstoppable on both ends of the court.
The Rockets played tired basketball, dropping an avalanche of sloppy mistakes, turnovers (24 in total) and non-existent defensive rotations in response to Oklahoma City's passing. The results were multiple open looks at the rim and simple open-court baskets for the Thunder.
The Thunder shot 48 percent from the floor, including 44.8 percent from behind the three-point line.
