Thunder lose by a lot in Houston

The Thunder lose to the Houston Rockets, 124-91. This is now two of two for blowout losses. Getting blown out by the Utah Jazz, a Western Conference contender, is one thing. But to the rebuilding Rockets who many project to be a bottom dweller? That’s just a tough pill to swallow.
Anyway, the game was ugly and was decided by halftime. So let’s talk about the individual positives.
Josh Giddey looked a lot more comfortable this game and was more aggressive to get after his shot. The rookie finished with six points and four assists.
