Like a peacock who spreads their feathers, the Rockets are loud with their physicality. The young squad exemplifies themselves after Dillon Brooks' antics. Meanwhile, the Thunder are stoic and quiet with their physicality.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 20 of his 32 points in the second half, and the Oklahoma City Thunder pulled away late to defeat the Houston Rockets 111-96 and advance to the NBA Cup championship.

The Rockets made just 11-of-46 from 3-point range (23.9%), including 1-of-11 from Fred VanVleet (9.1%), in Saturday’s NBA Cup loss to the Thunder.
