Tramel: Thunder defense in a sudden slump
The Thunder played porous defense in the first 11 minutes against the Rockets on Monday night, giving up 38 points. And then the Thunder defense got even worse.
Danuel House Jr. swished a corner 3-pointer. Eric Gordon made a 3-point play off an Isaiah Roby goaltend. Gordon converted a 4-point play, off Hamidou Diallo’s foul from the wing.
Ten points in less than 31 seconds.
Houston beat the Thunder 136-106, with a bevy of remarkable offense. An NBA-record 11 3-pointers in a quarter (the first); 28 3-pointers total, one shy of the league record.
