Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, Game 6 Western Conference. The Rockets hope to finish this round tonight. The team will use one of its main tools to try to finish off the Thunder. But so far there are no “hard” favorites for the sixth game of this round. The Thunder continue to attack the Rockets’ weak points with positive results.
Houston Rockets: All or nothing.
The Rockets won the fifth game 114-80, it was a victory by more than 34 points.

The Thunder want a seventh game. The team is clear that tonight the only objective is to win at all costs.
