YEAH THEY\u2019RE LOOKING TO KEEP A WINNING STREAK ALIVE. WE WANT TO BRING IN SPORTS ANCHOR HANNAH HOOVER. JOINING US RIGHT NOW HANNAH THE THUNDER IN HOUSTON TONIGHT TAKING ON KEVIN DURANT AND THE ROCKETS. YES. AND THANKFULLY THE THUNDER ARE REASSERTING THEIR EARLY SEASON DOMINANCE AT THE PERFECT TIME. OKC IS BACK IN RHYTHM AS THEY HEAD INTO TONIGHT\u2019S MATCHUP AGAINST THE ROCKETS. LOOKING FOR A FIFTH STRAIGHT WIN OVER HOUSTON AFTER A SCORCHING 24 ONE START TO THE SEASON, THE THUNDER HIT THAT BRIEF SKID WITH THREE LOSSES TO SAN ANTONIO AND A FEW OTHERS. BUT AFTER TUESDAY\u2019S WIN OVER THE SPURS, OKC LOOKS LOCKED IN AND READY TO ROLL. HERE\u2019S THE HEAD COACH, MARK DAIGNEAULT. IT\u2019S GOOD FOR US IN THE REGULAR SEASON TO HAVE TO OVERCOME HURDLES AND HAVE TO PULL TOGETHER AND RISE TO DIFFERENT CHALLENGES THAT THAT BUILDS YOUR METTLE. IT\u2019S HOW YOU GET STRONGER THROUGH THE SEASON AND HOPEFULLY IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO QUALIFY FOR THE PLAYOFFS, THEN YOU\u2019RE BRINGING A LEVEL OF WISDOM AND CONFIDENCE TO THOSE GAMES WHEN YOU NEED THAT STUFF. AND SO THERE\u2019S THERE\u2019S NOT LIKE A CERTAIN FORM THAT YOU TAKE, YOU KNOW, OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. YOU KNOW, IT VACILLATES IN AND OUT IN THE SEASON AND IN GAMES. AND THE TRICK IS STAYING THERE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND GETTING BACK ON TRACK WHEN YOU\u2019RE NOT THERE. THOSE UPS AND DOWNS ARE JUST PART OF THE PROCESS NOW. THEY LOOK TO STAY IN RHYTHM. TONIGHT AGAINST THE ROCKETS, WITH TIP OFF COMING UP SHORTLY AT 630 AT THE TOYOTA CENTER IN HOUSTON. IT\u2019S THE SECOND MEETING OF THE SEASON BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS. AND LAST TIME THERE WAS PLENTY OF DRAMA. THE THUNDER OUTLASTED THE ROCKETS 125 TO 124, IN OVERTIME. THAT WAS OCTOBER 21ST, WITH SHEA PUTTING UP 35 POIN\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma City Thunder aim to extend winning streak against Houston Rockets<\/p>\n<p>The Oklahoma City Thunder, fresh off a victory over the San Antonio Spurs, are set to face the Houston Rockets in Houston on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768522943_758_koco.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"KOCO logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 5:02 PM CST Jan 15, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koco.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to maintain their winning momentum after a significant victory against the San Antonio Spurs as they prepare to face Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Toyota Center in Houston.  &gt;&gt; Download the KOCO 5 app | Subscribe to KOCO 5\u2019s YouTube channelThe Thunder appear to be re-asserting their early-season dominance.
