HOUSTON – An avalanche of three-pointers cascaded down on the Thunder on Sunday afternoon. Head Coach Billy Donovan’s job: sorting out what the Thunder’s defense could have controlled, and what was left up to the incredibly hot shooting of the Houston Rockets.
The Thunder fell 137-125 to Houston, one of the best offensive teams the NBA has to offer in this new age of pace, space and three-point marksmanship and they displayed all of it on Sunday. For sure, the Thunder’s defense was far from perfect, and Donovan addressed the issues he saw after the game.
