Lu Dort's technical foul rescinded from the Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Cup semifinal win over the Houston Rockets.

Through the game’s first nine minutes, the Thunder scored only nine points. Through 12, the teams combined to shoot 13-for-47, including 4-for-22 on 3-pointers. They had nine turnovers, which weren’t debilitating to either squad because nobody was capable of turning even the mistakes into easy points.

With 26 teams eliminated and three still standing in the second annual NBA Cup, the festivities have moved to the league's unofficial western headquarters for semifinal games on Saturday and a winner-take-all title bout between Saturday's winners on Tuesday.
