After opening up its season in Salt Lake City, the Thunder rounds out its first regular season road trip with a tilt in Houston to face the Rockets. The squad will work to take the lessons and experiences it gleaned from its loss to Utah on Wednesday and apply them to its much different challenge in Houston on Friday.
What to Watch
Defending the Break
In its regular season opener, the Thunder demonstrated its defensive discipline by limiting Utah to zero fast break points. Against a Houston team that likes to play fast and get out on the break, expect the Thunder to carry over the trend of defending in transition.
