The end of the quarter drew concern because although our defense has been outstanding, we weren’t playing at the same pace, or with the same hustle or intensity that won us the first game, and with a team like OKC, and players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who had more FG’s in the first quarter then he did all last game, they’re bound to dominate the rest of the game if you give them a chance. Eric Gordon was slow to start on the offensive side but remained consistent with his defense. Steven Adams had an aggressive start and the Houston Rockets didn’t have an answer for it. The beginning of the first quarter was more in Thunder’s favor than the Rockets. But if OKC’s guards played better this game, that would pose a definite threat because we didn’t see much from them in the last contest. With Russell Westbrook still out, the key to winning Game 2 was dependent on the rest of the team stepping up like they did last game, as well as keeping the same game pace and momentum that OKC couldn’t keep up with. My wager would have been on the Thunder only because of the embarrassment that they suffered in the first game, I expected Chris Paul and the Oklahoma City Thunder to come back with a vengeance. Houston Rockets‘ faithful - if you would have asked me to bet money on today’s matchup, as contradicting as it may sound, my money would have been on OKC. What went on? It’s time to talk about what mattered. By Andrea Gregg 2 years ago The Houston Rockets have put themselves in the driver’s seat in their first-round matchup against OKC.
