When the Oklahoma City Thunder were leading after three quarters, they wanted to head back to Oklahoma City for a game 6, but the Houston Rockets had other ideas.

The Rockets outscored the Thunder 33 to 22 in the fourth quarter and won the game 105 to 99.

Russell Westbrook was the reason why the Thunder almost won last night. He scored 20 of his 47 points in the third quarter, but he shot 2-for-11 down the stretch. He also grabbed 11 rebounds and had 9 assists.

James Harden scored 34 points and grabbed 8 rebounds for the Rockets. Lou Williams scored 22 points off the bench. Nene scored 14 points and grabbed 7 rebounds off the bench as well.

Jerami Grant and Alex Abrines scored 11 points each for the Thunder.

The Rockets advance to the second round and will either face the Memphis Grizzles or the San Antonio Spurs.
