The Rockets lead the best-of-seven series 3-1 heading into Game 5 on Tuesday in Houston.
What troubles the Houston Rockets through three games of their best-of-seven series against the Oklahoma City Thunder is how they have started.
OKC got itself on the board in the series on Friday night with a 115-113 win over the Rockets.
"It was pretty tough, we don't make excuses", Harden said in a news conference when asked about his health. "I don't have a cast". We are all in this together. "He does a great job of getting in great position down low. We will continue to trust in each other and our abilities to stay a team and stay as one".
A recurring theme throughout the series has been Oklahoma City's tendency to lose leads when Westbrook sits out during the second half.
SNAP. Russell Westbrook snaps at a reporter as he defends his teammates. The guys doing battle alongside Westbrook won't see most of the follow-up reactions to Westbrook's rant, but they'll certainly be aware of their comrade going on a tirade about how he should be judged the same as they are. Al Horford added 15 points and 12 rebounds. "Today those guys made plays throughout the whole game and that's what I tried to do".

James Harden has proven to be quite a durable player throughout his career, in fact, he missed just one game in the regular season due to the flu while playing through a jammed wrist injury late in the year without missing any contests. He did a lot of different things.
Nene finished with 28 points and 10 rebounds on a ideal 12-12 from the field and brought some much-needed physicality and attitude to a Houston team that was being pushed around early on in the game. The Thunder are struggling hugely without Westbrook on the floor against a deeper Houston side, and this loss highlighted that. Boston blew a 20-point lead, but Thomas keyed a third-quarter run that put the Celtics back on top after Chicago briefly went ahead. While he scored 18 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter, Westbrook ended up making just 10-for-18 shots for the game for 35.7%.
"I just dribbled down the court", Harden said. He bit (on) it.
Roberson was just 2 of 12 from the line before Thunder coach Billy Donovan removed him. Shot it with confidence. It was the fewest points Harden has scored in this postseason.
But James answered with his big 3-pointer, and Cleveland sealed the win on James' free throw with 1 second left. "They're going to get open looks, and you're on the scramble and you're on the defense all the time". The Houston Rockets have lost five their last nine road games.
They pushed this mathematical envelope more than any team had before, building a roster that was well-equipped to work the numbers and put together the kind of victor that no one saw coming.
