Thunder vs. Rockets - playoff schedule

The NBA playoffs are here!

And the basketball gods have bestowed upon us a matchup made in sports heaven - the Oklahoma City Thunder are facing the Houston Rockets.

Two downsides are that the Rockets will be without Russell Westbrook for the first few games due to a quad strain.

And most of the games are in the afternoon - which is a bit different.

The schedule:

OKC and Houston have faced each other three times this season, with the Thunder winning the season series 2-1.

Starting Tuesday, the Thunder and Rockets will go to battle every other day until someone wins four games.
