The Rockets played small ball and for the most part it was successful as they countered the OKC with their "Equalizer" All-Star Two-Guard James Harden the best Shooting Guard in the Logo for 2013-14 and tell Wade County I said it!

The Rockets leading just 50-49 at the break and losing 84-82 after three hung tough behind Harden (39 pts 9 rebs 7 asst). Red Nation made some critical "Stops" and Key Plays down the stretch late in the 4th to preserve the "W". Rockets Small Forward Chandler Parson had 23 points and hauled in six boards with Terrence Jones adding a double double in 16 points and eleven boards.

OKC had their chances as KD (28 pts 12 rebs 6 asst)  hit two Money Balls late to keep them within one possession as Serge Ibaka chipped in with 27 points grabbing nine boards. OKC PG Reg Jackson played extremely well contributing 17 points, seven boards, and seven assists. The Thunder did everything right but get that much-needed "W" as Harden was 17 for 20 from the stripe.

The Thunder falls to 55-20 helping out the Spurs getting closer and closer at clinching the West. The Rockets at 50-25 moves in front of the Blazers by two games as they came in leading by one game before tonight's tilt.

360 Degrees...KD ties Air Jordan with 40 consecutive games with 25 points or more...Jordan did it in 85-86 season
