They were missing a former All-Star, Jalen Williams.

And they were missing their underrated third best on ball guard with A.J.

Mitchell.

At the same time, there's still a good defense, still a good team, and it's a very tough place to play.

I've been in Oklahoma City for a Rockets game, and that place is insane.

Rockets get a huge win.

Tari and Bari were absolutely excellent this whole game.

Shangoon rebounds after this really rough week with a triple-double and created a man Thompson out in this game.

Kevin Durant, they completely loaded up on him defensively.

So this is a really good win, 112-106.

I'm here with Ben Dubose.

You can see the handles underneath them.

Guys, this was, you know, yes, they needed to win because a loss would have reflected poorly, but they got a good win and a tough place to play.

Yeah.

Oh, a hundred percent.

Yeah, I think the biggest compliment to Jabari is, you know, nobody's talking about Jabari anymore.

Like it was all on Twitter.

Like everybody was just blaming Jabari for everything.
