Sengun took a hard smack in the nose from Dort, defending him inside. After lots of scoreboard replays and lots of boos, officials decide to huddle up and then choose to take another look. – 9:05 PM

Thunder sending extra help to Sengun, who is setting up teammates for open 3s. Not enough are falling with OKC scoring consistently. Thunder on a 16-4 run in less than four minutes, starting with the four-foul trip down the floor. – 8:52 PM

Hartenstein has been terrific with 17 points and 10 rebounds in 20 minutes. But he takes a seat with four fouls five minutes into the second half while Sengun is becoming more aggressive offensively. – 8:36 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
OKC’s Kenrich Williams with three fouls in four minutes. Stays in the game, even as Sengun returns. – 7:34 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Rockets off to a poor shooting start, making 4 of 12 through 5 1/2 minutes. Sengun 0 for 3, finding Hartenstein as much of a challenge as Holmgren was in OKC. – 7:21 PM

Love the early Pick-and-Roll with Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein exploiting Sengun. – 7:13 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Should be a fun battle of centers dropped by the opposing teams. The Rockets’ Alperen Sengun was technically drafted by OKC. The Thunder’s Isaiah Hartenstein was drafted by the Rockets and played 53 games for them. (Steven Adams remains OKC’s all-time leading rebounder.) – 5:13 PM
