The stars played the whole way. Was it worth it?
In a game that didn't matter, the Thunder played their starters the whole way and lost to the Houston Rockets, 110-118. The Rockets were the hungrier team, while the Thunder looked like they were going through the motions. There was a point in the third quarter where OKC had a 12 point lead, and looked like they might pull away. But a couple of missed shots led to Rockets transition opportunities, and Houston was right back in the game.
Poor defense from Enes Kanter really hurt the Thunder down the stretch in the third and in the early fourth.
