The rivalry is real...ish

Last time these teams met, we knew the Rockets were on their way as a Thunder on-court rival. Since Oklahoma City beat them by 19 last month, Houston has gone 9-2 and announced themselves as one of the best Western Conference teams. OKC is ready for the rivalry, will Houston start making it a competitive one?

Houston, we have no rivalry: The running comments diary
OKC 126 HOU 107 The Thunder (8-1) beat the Rockets (5-4) early, outscoring Houston 44-20 in the second quarter and never looking back. 40 seconds into the fourth, OKC was up 20+ and the 100-point bellringing tradition in our comments section was underway. I started to write a snarky recap

Prediction: OKC 98 HOU 91
