Oklahoma City Thunder fight back for win

Thunder fight back for win

The Oklahoma City Thunder overturned a 14-point half-time deficit to seal a 104-92 win over the Houston Rockets in the NBA.

The home side were in formidable form in the first half of the meeting at the Toyota Center, scoring 73 points before the break.

James Harden and Terrence Jones led the scoring for the Rockets in their best first-half performance so far this season.

However, Houston's shooting ability deserted them in the second half, as they could add just 19 more points, which ties the second-fewest second-half total in NBA history.

Meanwhile, the visitors were able to up their game, allowing Kevin Durant to finish the game with 36, while a late run from Reggie Jackson helped seal the win.

The result leaves the Thunder third in the Western Conference, while the Rockets are fifth.
