Oklahoma City Thunder Stun Rockets With A Comeback To Win By 117-112

Paul George proved his weight with Oklahoma City Thunder as he and Russell Westbrook inspired the team to rally and overturned Houston Rockets' lead to win 117-112 on Saturday night at Toyota Centre. 
It was a disappointing night for James Harden who put up 42 points, 2 rebounds and an assist, had to bear defeat with Rockets which had its 22-point lead in the first half wiped off. 
Rockets maintained the lead until mid-way third quarter when Thunders revamped its defense and clinically erased Rockets' lead, and progressed into the fourth quarter with tied scores from Denis Schroder's two-point basket. 
After Harden missed a three-point attempt with 5 second remaining that could have decider for Rocket at 113-112, George wrapped the game up for Thunder scoring two free-throws back-to-back to win the game for Thunder. 
During Thunder's rally in third quarter, Terrance Ferguson and Schroder added in 23 points combined to give the team scoring the needed boost whilst Paul George scored the most with 13 points. 
Goerge finished the game with a double-digits scoring of 45 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, followed by Westbrook stretched hos triple-double scorung to 9 games in a row with 21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
