Thunder’s Latest Blow Reveals Shocking Rockets’ Weakness—Is a Major Shakeup Inevitable Before Trade Deadline?
“I felt like I missed some good shots to be honest,” Durant said. “But they swarmed the paint, we got up 104 looks. My shot-making is supposed to inspire the whole group so when I’m not making shots, it takes away from us. I just gotta be more prepared and fundamentally sound. A few shots I rushed or was looking for a foul. I just gotta be better.”
Kevin Durant struggled to find clean looks against Oklahoma City on Thursday, a snapshot of Houston’s growing offensive issues.

But just how Houston labored — struggling to capitalize on 4-on-3s, failing to take full advantage of their dominance on the offensive glass (25 points from 23 offensive rebounds) and another anemic shooting night (29 percent from three, 33 from the field) — told a larger story of where this team needs fixing. The Rockets are about as deep of a basketball team as any of their rivals in the Western Conference but are dealing with roster inconsistency and a lack of quarterback that is starting to catch up with them.
