For Oklahoma City to have any chance to even up this series, Russell Westbrook is going to have to be a bit more efficient shooting the basketball and he’s also going to need a lot more help from his teammates. The Thunder also have to do better on the boards. They came into Game 1 as the best rebounding team in the NBA but were outrebounded 56-41 by the Rockets on Sunday night, including being doubled up on the offensive glass. Steven Adams, Enes Kanter and Taj Gibson combined for just nine rebounds while Rockets power forward Ryan Anderson had 12 on his own.

The Rockets also outplayed the Thunder in the paint, shooting an amazing 31-for-45 (68.9 percent) to outscore Oklahoma City 68-32, which was quite surprising seeing as how OKC came in as the highest-scoring team in the league from the paint. Simply put, the Houston Rockets outplayed the Oklahoma City Thunder in every aspect of the game and that’s why they hold a 1-0 series lead.

Here’s the television and streaming information you’ll need in order to watch Game 2.

Oddsshark.com has the Rockets favored by 7.5 points for Game 2. This was one of the most highly-anticipated matchups of the opening round in either conference and the Thunder, and NBA fans in general that were hoping for some great all-around action, have to hope for a better performance on Wednesday night. But if the Rockets play like they did on Sunday, Oklahoma City is going to be in for yet another long night.
