PHOTOS: Best images from the Thunder’s 112-106 loss to the Rockets

The Oklahoma City Thunder turned in one of their worst performances of the season in a 112-106 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

Playing one of the worst teams in the league without their starting backcourt of Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr., the Thunder looked sluggish in their loss and trailed for most of the night.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an inefficient game, scoring 24 points on 7-of-23 shooting. It was a rough night for the offense as the Thunder shot just 38-of-103 (36.9%) from the field.

Let’s take a look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s six-point loss to the Rockets.
