The first-place Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference prepares to face the sixth-place team on Thursday and welcome former star Kevin Durant, now with the Rockets, who boast a 23-14 record.
The Rockets snapped their three-game losing streak on Tuesday with a win at the Toyota Center against the Bulls. Houston had a better shooting percentage in a thrilling back-and-forth game, but the Bulls grabbed crucial rebounds and forced turnovers. The Rockets ultimately won 119-113. The game featured numerous lead changes, but with three minutes remaining, Durant threw down two dunks, and Sengun recorded a double-double to counter Tre Jones' outstanding performance for Chicago.
The Rockets attempt a low number of three-pointers per game. They compensated for this with high efficiency, but when that efficiency dipped slightly, their slump began. Against the Bulls, they made only 7 of 24 three-point attempts.
