The Thunder close out the Rockets in 6 games, and here is how each player contributed to the series-ending win.

The Thunder close the books on round 1 of the 2013 playoffs. How did each player do against Houston?

OKC advances to play Memphis after defeating the Rockets, 103-94, winning the series 4-2.

The Thunder need a defensive strategy shift, more Nick Collison, and a miracle comeback from Kevin Martin. But they might not get even one of the three.

The Thunder have struggled the last two games, so we will investigate whether or not they have reason to be worried or not.

I discuss hammering down a defensive strategy and lineup problems.

If the Thunder had played the same strategy with Russell Westbrook last night, there's no way they could have won.

The Thunder dropped a 2nd consecutive game to the Rockets. OKC still leads the series 3-2, but individual performances have dropped since Russell Westbrook was sidelined for the playoffs.

Harden has 31 points as the Houston Rockets fight off elimination, beating OKC 107-100.
