The Oklahoma City Thunder secured a berth in the Emirates NBA Cup Championship against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night by defeating the Houston Rockets 111-96.
Even though they won by over 20 points, this Semifinal matchup was everything but lopsided; in fact, Oklahoma City was behind at the end of the first half.
Thankfully, they were able to shift into second, third, and even fourth gear as the game progressed. In the second half, they even scored 70 points on 75.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
Even though it eventually took a team effort to win the championship round, several individual performances stood out as game-changing moments during their 48 minutes of play.
