Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jan 15, 2026

Oklahoma City's defense has been stifling over its last ten games, allowing 110.5 points per contest, while Houston's scoring prowess—averaging 111.0 points in the same stretch—suggested a potential clash of complementary strengths. Instead, this matchup tilted decisively in the Thunder's favor, with Oklahoma City's suffocating defense overwhelming the Rockets in a 111-91 victory that finished well short of the market total of 221.5.

The game's trajectory pivoted in the second quarter, when combined scoring spiked to 63 points—the game's most explosive frame. Oklahoma City outscored Houston 34-29 in that period, building momentum that Houston could never recapture. The Rockets mustered only 27 points in the third quarter as the Thunder's defensive intensity mounted, and though both teams produced 50 combined points in the fourth, the damage was done. For the half, Oklahoma City and Houston combined for 103 first-half points; the second half yielded just 99, illustrating how the game's intensity and pace declined after halftime.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 20 points and 4 assists, while Chet Holmgren contributed 18 points and 9 rebounds, and Ajay Mitchell added 17 points. Kevin Durant paced Houston with 19 points, and Jabari Smith Jr. chipped in 17 points alongside 10 rebounds, but it wasn't enough. The combined total of 202 fell 19.5 points below the pregame line. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.
