The Houston Rockets escaped with a 102 - 99 victory over the host Oklahoma City Thunder, after a chaotic final few minutes at Chesapeake Energy Arena, on Friday. The Rockets led by as many as 13 in the fourth quarter before the Thunder went on a 13 - 2 run bringing the score to 94 - 92 for Houston with 3:20 to go. The final minutes were full of steals, turnovers, rebounds and all - out desperation, but the Rockets were able to come out with the win, evening the season series with Oklahoma City at 1 - 1. James Harden led the way for the Rockets with 21 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, while his counterpart Russell Westbrook notched his seventh straight triple - double, with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Both teams struggled shooting, as the Rockets shot 39 percent overall and 26 percent from long range, while the Thunder shot 42 percent overall and 25 percent from long range. The Thunder won the match - up at the foul line, scoring 24 free throws, compared to 19 from the Rockets. Both teams also gave up a large amount of turnovers, while Russell Westbrook and James Harden each had eight on their own. All things considered it was not the prettiest game but the result is just as important nonetheless, given both team's battle for position in the West. The Rockets have won five straight and will look to continue rolling as they play host to the Mavericks on Saturday, in the second night of a back - to - back for both teams. The Thunder saw their six - game win streak come to an end but will look to get back on track as they play host to the Celtics on Sunday.
