The Oklahoma City Thunder showed some resolve tonight and veteran led NBA Teams that are playoff bound always do as the Panic Button is not an option. The Thunder down 70-48 at the break to that Houston Rockets Offense stayed the course knowing if they got on a run Clutch City was not going to be "Clutch" stopping them...

After all the theatrics it was Paul George's Show as Playoff P goes game-high 45 points (12-22 FG) with eleven boards and he makes his living at the stripe shooting 15 for 18. The Rockets had no answer for him and James Harden nets 42 points (11-28 FG) with CP3 almost going triple-double (18 pts 10 rebs 9 asst).

It came down to execution in the half court and Iso Ball gets you L's a two-man or three-man game gets you balance and keep everyone involved. Both Teams shot 30 free throws as O.K.C. moves to 36-19 with Houston falling to 32-23 and huge "W" for the Thunder as we get close to talking about Seeds in Winning Time after the All-Star Break.

Russell Westbrook with another Triple-Double tying the late great Wilt Chamberlain with nine consecutive goes 21 points and eleven helpers with a dozen boards...Thunder PG Dennis Schroder (pictured above left) was even bigger as he went for 15 of his 17 points in the 3rd frame as O.K.C. outscored Houston 42-20 tying the game heading into the 4th and final frame.
