LOGO WATCH Double-Dip...#REDnation does everything right but get the "W" vs OKC...GOLD Swagger up 2-0 on Same Old HIGHLIGHT Factory 404 #NBAGm2Recaps

The Rockets had the right game plan and almost stole on in OKC but they didn't make the play that would have defined a Victory and stunned the OKC Thunder and Thunder Alley.

Behind 29 points from both KD and Uncle Russ the OKC Thunder head to the Big Tundra...the Toyota Center up 2-0 as Game Two was anything but easy. The Rockets had the Thunder where they wanted them but couldn't make the necessary plays in the last Three minutes to close the deal. James Harden left a lasting impression on OKC with 36 points, eleven rebounds, and six helpers as he continually went to the line and ended the night 17-20 from the charity stripe. The Rockets no-name PG Patrick Beverly went for 16 points, twelve rebounds, and six helpers as he led the Rockets on the Glass.

The Thunder escape with the "W" but not before a Reality Check of "You better bring your A-Game  in Winning Time every night" Mentality or you will get an L. Rockets won everywhere but on the scoreboard...everywhere.

The Hawks have absolutely nothing for "Operation Gold Swagger" right now as the Pacers go up 2-0 behind a 113-98 "W". Pacers led by the 2012-13 NBA's Most Improved Player Paul George (27 points 8 rebounds) and George Hill's 22 points they won every frame on their way to an easy win as the Hawks look dead in the water to say the least. The Hawks get 17 points from PG Devin Harris, 16 points apiece from Teague and J-Smoove 5, and 13 points and ten boards from Big Al Horford but that wasn't nearly enough. Pacers Bench outscored the Hawks Bench 38 to 27 and that was the difference in the game.
