The Rockets took Monday off to rest after their 118-87 beatdown of Oklahoma City in Game 1, while the Thunder quickly went back to work. What adjustments might they make? Fred Katz, OKC's beat writer for the Norman Transcript and host of the daily Locked on Thunder podcast, joined me to explore the matchup problems posed by the Rockets — as well as what changes head coach Billy Donovan and star guard Russell Westbrook could implement to try and steal a game in Houston before the series shifts to Oklahoma City this weekend.
Katz also offered plenty of praise for the Rockets following the Game 1 blowout, including rave reviews for Pat Beverley and Clint Capela.
