For the first since before the All-Star Break, the Oklahoma City Thunder has won 3 consecutive games, and it appears as if they are building some momentum as the end of the regular season draws near.

Tonight, the Thunder hosts the Houston Rockets at Chesapeake Energy Arena, and the Rockets know a thing or two about momentum. Since the All-Star Break, Houston has gone 20-4 as one of the hottest teams in the last leg of the season.

The Thunder is 2-1 against the Rockets so far this season, but Houston has been playing much better basketball for quite some time now. This game has serious playoff seeding implications, so OKC needs to get out to a strong start and take care of business in the regular season home finale.
