Houston Rockets – Oklahoma City Thunder

Thunder played well for three quarters of match four. In the last part, however, the defensive missed and Rockets scored 40 points in a quarter, adjudicating its precious away victory. A new triple double of Russell Westbrook proves that not all statistics win matches. With an average of 35 points per match, Westbrook is the best marker of the team but would need more help from others, such as Andre Robertson and Victor Oladipo, but not only.

Houston Rockets will try to start the game this night as he finished the game. The team is second in terms of points scored in the playoffs. Playing home a match that can determine the fate of this series, we are likely to see from Houston a new offensive evolution of the highest level.

Direct meetings

Rockets won three of the four confrontations that the two teams had this season. The victory in the 4th away game, after another match in which Rockets puts trouble in Oklahoma shows the superiority of the team in front of the opponents.

Conclusions

In this series, Houston Rockets was the most pragmatic team. Oklahoma could have been on the same footing or even driving the series but could not take advantage of key moments. Westbrook has a very difficult mission, he does not have the ability to team up behind the playoffs. Harden and Rockets should get their tickets this night for the next round.
