Ok, so a recap of the game.
The two top scorers for the Thunders were Kevin Durant and Kevin Martin who scored 27 points and 25 points respectively. After trailling in the game to the Rockets, Oklahoma City opened up the fourth quarter strongly with a big run to take the lead and win the game.
Kevin Martin was able to give the Thunder someone to take scoring pressure off Durant for the first time since All-Star Russell Westbrook had season-ending knee surgery. He had 21 points by halftime and Westbrook's replacement, Reggie Jackson had also helped out by scoring 17 points. In the fourth quarter Derek Fisher and Durant both hit 3-pointers in that stretch. Houston missed six shots, including two layups, and had two turnovers as the Thunder built the lead. Harden made a 3-pointer after that, but the ball was stolen from him on the next possession and Durant took it down and finished with an exclamation point dunk, and Houston didn't threaten after that
This match was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,357 and this win for Oklahoma City sends them to the second round playoffs for a third season straight.
