Russell Westbrook drove and scored to cut Houston's lead to one. He was fouled and Chesapeake Energy Arena was on its feet yet again.
Westbrook missed the free throw … and Anthony Morrow came down with the offensive rebound. Second-life for the Thunder in a fourth quarter it was starving for it.
But in the midst of another late surge from the Thunder star, he missed a key layup in Houston's 102-99 win Friday night.
Westbrook finished with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He pulled down a defensive rebound with 7:46 for his seventh consecutive triple-double, tying him with Michael Jordan with the most in consecutive games since 1989.
