The problem was that Brooks had just watched his team blow a 14-point lead in the final eight minutes at Houston, the Rockets racing to 29 points over that span, while one defender after another whiffed on the assignment of stopping former Thunder guard James Harden, who went on to score a career-high 46 points.
A day later, the Thunder added another threat that might possibly come in handy.
