Thunder, Pacers, And Spurs Hit Road With 2-0 Leads – NBA Roundup For April 25th

UNDATED (AP) — They squandered a 15-point lead late and it was probably closer than Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks would have preferred, but the Thunder nonetheless own a 2-0 series lead over Houston following their 105-102 victory over the Rockets. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each scored 29.

Durant hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2:28 to play, and the Thunder didn't relinquish the lead after that. Durant missed a free throw with 1 second left, but Houston was out of timeouts and Carlos Delfino couldn't connect on a desperation shot at the final buzzer.

Game 3 is Saturday night in Houston.
