OKC Thunder at Houston Rockets | Game Highlights | February 25, 2024

That’s a little bit short from Jaylen green still looking for our first points dorts been red hot from the outside and stays red hot you know he’s one of those guys kind of been struggling a little bit but you know he’s a veteran player there’s another veteran player

Right there not struggling to score the basketball off of the offensive player and many times you know they get called for an offensive foul nice Cut Josh G got it right back from J and scores this just really good offense by sh J drives kicks St made one from that

Spot and now he’s got number two he will go to the line well the Rockets know that the Thunder like to drive the basketball and then kick out the shooters you got to give them something pick your poison hen right back outside there is th wide open and he’s going to get the

Friendly hop right off the back of the rim and that’s three two good defensive teams two in the top seven in the NBA Dort getting a little friendly hop no problem and the Thunders so far are five out of seven from Deep getting inside instead of that

Outside shot that’s not dropping as Shay put his head down trying to go at Brooks five on four here for the Rockets man bleet caught in all kinds of traffic now Jay Wills turn to save one from going out of bounds Rockets put a little pressure in

The back court trying to take up a little bit of time jdub crosses up maintains his dribble goes right to the cup and scores right before the end of the quarter this barely got by there folks with that left hand no time left on the clock as it went hter still

Looking for the first points of the second quarter been stuck on 31 for the first three minutes holiday got stripped on the way up good defense by KAS Wallace not committing the foul despite that’s tough to do when he gets by then he kind of does a little shot fake

He gets off Mark dagn letting this young Thunder team play through it here in this second quarter kid and he’s able to sort of shed the defense and there’s the first points of the second quarter terrific one-on-one move the holiday Jay dub below the free throw line little step back shot not easy

Assistant coach for the Houston Rockets now Jeff Green of course the Rockets as well guys and Jeff Green Now 37 years old was wrapped it all the way back in 2007 3 years with OKC especially when you’re a right-handed player and the right arm comes off the ball

Absolutely good dve there by J du kind of bucket you know just got to be patient with get around s Shin Gunner Shay ball in his hands spin on green and got to the rim Rockets are setting a lot of high ball screens out in

Front oh what a contest at The Rim ched holen not allowing the dive from Thompson Thompson can get up there he is athletic and shade takes a little bump and able to play through it plus the foul has he had at The Rim folks we’re clearly a guy’s going to dump or

Score end result is this right here partner I’m just saying you’re part of that 3,830 that cannot be confirmed on deny oh nice pass Shay fires it down low as you said Michael Trail by as many as 16 cut into that and looking for more after that wiggin steel front that entry

Pass intended for Smith that’s a smart play by Wiggins and they made a nice little run here just before halftime and another deflection and another steal hren coming out with it the fast break points for the Rockets it was 6 Z you don’t see that very often no not

At all and here’s a chance here here for a fast break opportunity as the Rockets get the numbers back skip pass by Josh and a delivery by Chet outside over the next what several decades way you know if not more as that guy we’re talking about with a bucket I mean it’s just

Impacting people’s lives for Generations those things go a long ways and hren with another smothering block this time on green we’re talking about him ever since beis lawon talked about that basketball couple of possessions with some points but SGA attacking again kept that pivot fo it down everybody clears

Out and he’s got the layup he just waited for air traffic to clear just when you think he’s in jail fell but that time on the defensive end now a mismatch Shay came on the backside and knocked it away that’s great weak side help by him sh spinning bouncing off the

Defenders on the left side and Banks it home and that work to Perfection look at this man that was a whole body of work on just the amount of bodies that he bounces off Jada extra pass over to Isaiah Joe he will step into it from downtown and Isaiah Joe

Connect going at it this is that shell drill you practice with the basketball you know God gets in the lane right that ball is always going to be even a quick moving defense th tried it again but this time Dort will drive hangs in the air in the reverse never looks quite

Comfortable still to run here 10-2 green tied up SGA swaps it back out a chance to take the lead here CU they haven’t done in a long time Jay will on the follow up the Miss from Joe and there is the lead coming up on the four-minute Mark of the third

Quarter and B surrounded had nowhere to go tried to give it up and threw it right into the hands of Joe Green 37 years old what crossover SGA got to the rim SGA scores what a beauty on the drive his best we saw the crossover on Paul George against the

Clippers how about this time going right that is and and and and the the momentum that he had folks man he once he saw that opening he like a running coverage where we’re going to cut off the lane we’re going to try to cut off that water supply Thompson trying to get aggressive

How about the Wiggins Corner the reasons why they play great defense shutting down the fast break opportunities for the rockets and right out of the gate here in the fourth quarter where the Thunder have shut off and this was the first play of the fourth quarter normally the big

Man running right down Main Street something that the ther prioritized if the matchup is Right Thompson tried to get home Gren in the air didn’t matter as he still laid him up another block for jet hren Hayward off balance shot offensive rebound hen’s put back that’s going to drop in he’s

Just really what I call making impact play just never looks rushed on that turning over that left shoulder by Jeff Green hren again from the outside as this time he bombs a three and if that’s not enough oh that’s not an impact play that’s a finesse play he’s I got that too

Award quite had control to get the shot off as case Wallace is going to strip Whitmore trying to get Houston into the break is not just the the defense which was something that you knew about from college his ability to block shots but he has just been so reliable on

Bothin getting smarter by the game giddy is trying to Fast Break opportunity go on the runner but there is hren with the follow starting to dominate ched Homen doing everything on both ends of the floor blocking shots throwing it down th push that lead out to

11 first double digit lead of the night here folks boy the defense is really starting to suffocate the rockets on that end Hayward over to wall sideline to sideline K Wallace from downtown the bench players for the Rockets have been pretty solid up until that point and all of a sudden the

Thunder Came To Life along with Chad to get them started came in from behind and took it away from Brooks hren inside took a bump and still able to put it down he did have six blocks and five rebounds but he has exploded for 24 tonight well you know

What when he continues to get better as the season is worn on how about this nice back door cut those threes starting to flatten out a little bit as we come up on the 5 minute Mark Shay probing jdub’s got a little bit of space and jdub’s got himself a

Three there is hren Little Fly by back outside SJ spots up for the three and splashes in home but they made things out look at this folks and just making the defense go from one guy to the other and he doesn’t get you know the calls and sometimes you know you’re

A rookie they’re just not going to give you that call well the Rockets came in the number one defensive team inside the Toyota Center and that’s what it’s going to be a 29-point turnaround and no team has more double digigit comebacks in the NBA this year than Oklahoma City this is number 123
