The matchups: “From a game plan standpoint, [the Thunder will] have good s— for Houston, and they have guys who can keep Houston out of the paint,” one assistant coach said. “But I don’t think Steven Adams will make them pay enough to negate the switching Houston does. James Harden will have a couple clunkers, and that will be a problem. He won’t have four good games and three bad ones, but he will have more good than bad, and that’s good enough for Houston to win.”
