This game also showed us the strength and potential of a young team that is on the rise. The Thunder's young players have great talent and quality, and their future is limitless. In this game, the Rockets' offense played very well, especially the two guards Dillon and Holiday were very dangerous inside and outside, whether it was shooting or penetrating, it was a headache for the Thunder's defense. The Rockets' defense is also very good, and they keep an eye on the Thunder's main scoring point, limiting their play and preventing them from getting enough space and opportunities. Jabari Smith Jr., in particular, may not be good enough to score, but his role on the defensive end is very important, and his height and defensive ability make it difficult for opponents.
In contrast, the Thunder had a lot of problems on the offensive end, with their scoring points scattered, unable to form effective combinations, and a lot of turnovers in key moments, resulting in wasted opportunities. While Dillon Brooks was excellent on the offensive end, he also had some issues on the defensive end, where he was easily broken and scored by opponents. The performance of the other players was also mediocre and did not change the situation of the game much. Overall, the Rockets were the better team in this game, showing great strength on both the offensive and defensive ends, while the Thunder had a lot of problems that needed to be improved in the following games. However, the game was also a testament to the quality of Dillon and Jabari Smith Jr., whose performances contributed to the Rockets' win the game.
