HIGHLIGHTS: Rockets vs Thunder – NBA Playoffs 2020
The Rockets and the Thunder collide in a do-or-die Game 7 of their Western Conference first round playoff series

The NBA Western Conference playoff clash between the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder comes down to the wire as they collide in a do-or-die Game 7.

A place in the second round awaits the winner between the Rockets and the Thunder in their rubber match slated on Wednesday, September 2 (Thursday, September 3, Manila time).

Momentum is on the side of the Thunder after they staved off elimination behind a come-from-behind Game 6 win spearheaded by Chris Paul.

Paul, who played for the Rockets for the past two seasons, torched his former team by scoring 15 of his 28 points in the final quarter to help the Thunder stay alive.

On the other side, the Rockets need Russell Westbrook to rediscover his lethal form, especially after he committed costly errors late in Game 6. (READ: Error-plagued Westbrook takes blame in Rockets’ Game 6 loss)

Former NBA MVP James Harden is expected to carry the scoring load for the Rockets, who are eyeing to reach the second round for the fourth straight season.

Game time is 9 am.
