The Thunder picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday night in Oklahoma City, defeating the Houston Rockets by a final score of 98-80. Despite Russell Westbrook being sidelined with a sprained ankle, the Thunder used balanced scoring and suffocating defense to stifle the Houston attack — coming away with the victory in front of a raucous crowd inside Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Paul George led the way for OKC with 20 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and 6 steals. Steven Adams was dominant, wrapping up his night with 19 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. All told, six Thunder players finished in double-figures scoring — including Dennis Schroder (14), Terrance Ferguson (14), Jerami Grant (11), and Raymond Felton (10).
