Opposed this evening to the Thunder in a match which could potentially allow them to come back within one victory of the Warriors in the standings, the Rockets knocked out OKC after a superb basketball match and signed their 10th victory in a row! Jalen Green once again released a boss line, with 37 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
Here are the statistics!
THE match of young cores from West. In any case, even if the Thunder largely won on paper this competition between sports projects based on youth, the truth can change in the space of an evening. And that’s what happened last night in Oklahoma City. Without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, left to rest for a quadriceps pain, the march was a bit too high for Mark Daigneault’s men. However, they managed to take the match into overtime, but did not have the necessary reserve to put the match into overtime.
Rockets side, 10th victory in as many matches. Best current series in the NBA, crazy push to get the Warriors out of the Play-in zone and take this 10th place in the West. Too bad, the latter won in Orlando and are one success ahead. So note the Houston – Golden State on April 2, this one could be IMPORTANT. We’re getting lost, let’s come back to the meeting.

It’s the Fusées who get off to a great start (lol) with a 15-2. The Thunder reacts and this allows the Paycom Center to return to its evening. What definitely wakes up the room? The huge poster of Isaiah Joe on Jeff Green’s ganache, watch out for your peepers.

In its wake, the Thunder returned to the game, even taking the lead in a very close duel. Josh Giddey was a hit, as was Jalen Williams. The first named equals his career record and collects 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, while the second finishes with 23 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, and the big equalizing shot to force overtime.
An extension marked by Dillon Brooks. The pig character of the Rockets plants 8 points of his team’s 20 in the period, with two arrows from the parking lot barely the teams back on the floor. A delay already too complicated to make up for the Thunder, who lost 130-126, without having deserved and at the end of a high quality spectacle.
Note the superb performance of Amen Thompson, 25 points and 15 rebounds including… 6 offensive, a key statistic of the game. Jalen Green, undisputed MVP of the match (37 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 interceptions at 14/24 shooting including 7/11 at 3-points) expressed his joy after the meeting, at the microphone ofESPN. Same story with Ime Udoka, who still notes Shai’s absence for the match.
“It was crazy, it was crazy. Everyone celebrated, everyone shouted, everyone was happy. I mean, we fought to get this victory. We worked hard.” –Jalen Green
“10 in a row is still 10 in a row, regardless of whether Shai is out or not. That’s a difficult thing to do in the NBA. The guys are proud of what they do, and it’s deserved.” –Ime Udoka.
Amen Thompson was HUGE in tonight’s OT win!
