Thunder fall to 50-22.
Tied for #2 in the West.
Tough OT loss on a B2B w/o SGA. Gotta tip the hat to Jalen Green.
OKC highlights:
Giddey 30 point game
Hayward’s best OKC game
Giddey sit shot
JDub clutch 3 to send it to OT
Isaiah Joe DOTY
Next up: KD in OKC on Friday. – 11:21 PM

Ime Udoka said the coaches’ favorite play of the game was when Jalen Green found Jabari Smith Jr, who was struggling, in the final seconds of regulation for the corner three.
“Great pass. Great growth. I’m proud of them for that play.” – 10:57 PM

I always go back to this Rafael Stone quote about Jalen Green from after the trade deadline: “He has a skill set that isn’t replicated on our roster.” – 10:55 PM

Rockets have a real shot at this thing with this Jalen Green leap. Obviously got a touch lucky tonight with OKC sitting Shai, but that was one of the games they had to bank. Still three Jazz/Blazers games that would get them to 40 wins now if they sweep those. – 10:55 PM

Jalen Green with another absurd performance tonight for the Rockets:
37 points
9 rebounds
6 assists
14/24 FG
Green has been one of the NBA’s best players for a few straight weeks now. Playing out of his mind. This clutch 3 was crazy: pic.twitter.com/oU32pnoYD6 – 10:49 PM

And people called me crazy for asking for more patience with Jalen Green.
Besides the finishing, his decision making has been off the charts. The kickout passes last second when the defense stunts or commits to him near the paint have been special. – 10:48 PM

Hell of an effort from the Shai-less Thunder, and a statement win for the surging Rockets.
Jalen Green was phenomenal. – 10:46 PM

Jalen Green, btw, has as many 30-point games in the past 14 games (six) as he had in the first 58 games of the season. – 10:17 PM

Jalen Green has just two assists, but had so many passes inside that should have been buckets. (A few led to free throws.) That miss from Thompson was an especially slick, unrewarded pass. – 10:15 PM
