Thunder Strike Rockets in Fourth Quarter Blitz

The Oklahoma City Thunder achieved their fifth consecutive win on Thursday night, defeating the Houston Rockets with a final score of 111-91. The Thunder secured the victory with a decisive 34-16 performance in the fourth quarter, pulling away from a close game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a key offensive contributor with 20 points, closely followed by Chet Holmgren, who added 18 points.

Despite being outrebounded by Houston (44-60), Oklahoma City's superior shooting percentage (46.1% to Houston's 33.7%) and effectiveness from beyond the arc (16 of 41 three-pointers) proved crucial. Cason Wallace emerged as a strong offensive force off the bench, contributing 17 points, including key three-pointers that fueled the Thunder's fourth-quarter run.

The Rockets, led by Kevin Durant's 19 points, struggled significantly with their shooting, making only 7 of 24 three-point attempts. This offensive inefficiency, combined with a technical foul called on Houston coach Ime Udoka, allowed the Thunder to extend their lead and ultimately secure a comfortable win.
