Thunder 133, Rockets 96: Houston throttled again in Oklahoma City as All-Star break arrives
Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate shoots the ball over Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams in the first half of an NBA basketball game, Wednesday, Feb.15, 2023, in Oklahoma City. OKLAHOMA CITY — As the final seconds of the third quarter trickled off the clock, Rockets guard Josh Christopher missed an off-balance, one-handed scoop layup attempt.
Prior to the game, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas warned it was possible for teams to “let go of the rope” with the break in sight. The Rockets did so, and the Thunder grabbed hold of the rope and yanked it in the opposite direction. Houston shot 33.7 percent from the field, 27 percent from deep, and was outscored in the paint 64-38. The Rockets trailed by as many as 45 points during the Feb. 4 loss, and on Wednesday saw the deficit reach 31 in the second quarter and 40 in the third.
