Mike D'Antoni finds plenty of positives from first round

To Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni's way of positive thinking, if the glass is not half full, find a smaller glass.

It's waiting in the second round of the playoffs.

The Rockets were not their best in dispatching the Thunder in five games. But they won, anyway. They did not do some of the things they typically do best particularly well, but they did other things masterfully. Nearly every game was a struggle, but the Rockets came within one last-second 3-pointer of a sweep.

"I'd wish we'd make a shot every once in a while," D'Antoni said.
