Clint Capela has quietly been having a solid season in his first year as the Rockets ' full - time starting center despite being in a Mike D'Antoni-led offense that does n't utilize big men as much . Following Capela 's 13 - point , 14 - rebound game against the Thunder on Wednesday , Capela notched his third double - double of the season and his seventh game with at least nine rebounds . He also shot 5 - of - 8 against Oklahoma City , making Wednesday his eighth game this season where he has made over 50 percent of his field goal attempts . For the Thunder 's Victor Oladipo , his monster 29 - point night is just the second time in the last nine games where the shooting guard has managed to score over 20 points . He also made 67 percent of his shots Wednesday , which was just the third time he was able to do so this season . As of now , the Thunder are 4 - 1 when Oladipo scores over 20 points , with the one loss coming at the hands of the Warriors , so if he can get going , he gives Oklahoma City a shot to win . The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the visiting Houston Rockets , 105 - 103 , at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Wednesday . It was built up as a matchup between the two assist leaders in the NBA , with James Harden 's league - best 13 assists per game going up against Russell Westbrook 's 10 . In the end , Harden did manage to out - pass Westbrook , dishing out 13 assists to Russell 's nine , but Westbrook dominated Harden in every other aspect of the game . Most importantly , he got the win as he lead the Thunder ( 7 - 5 ) on a late surge . Westbrook finished the night with a game - high 30 points , nine rebounds and seven assists . The only other Oklahoma City player to score in double figures was Victor Oladipo , who put together what was easily his best performance of the season , recording a season - high 29 points , 10 rebounds , five assists and two steals . It was essentially a two - man show for the Thunder , but it was enough to seal the victory . For the Rockets ( 6 - 5 ) , while Harden continued to be a great floor leader , he struggled to put together a stellar offensive performance , scoring just 13 points on 4 - of - 16 shooting . Eric Gordon matched Harden 's 13 , but shot an even worse 5 - of - 20 from the field . As a team , Houston had seven players score in double figures , but no one managed to score higher than Ryan Anderson 's 14 , and in total , the Rockets shot just 44 percent from the field in a game they still managed to keep close . Up next for the Thunder , they will stay at home to take on the Nets on Friday , while the Rockets will head home on Thursday to play the Trail Blazers .
