As the Houston Rockets fell, 124-125, in a tantalizing, double-OT season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder, their offensive arsenal was on full display despite the mistakes they made throughout the night.
While Alperen Sengun stole the spotlight with an absurd, 39-point performance, offseason acquistion Kevin Durant looked to be the piece they lacked so sorely last season, scoring in the clutch and bending the opposing defense to his will throughout the course of the game.
Although the Rockets lost, there are multiple silver linings in this game, and the most important might very well be the sneak peek fans got at the effect Durant can have on the team this season.
