Intro:

Postgame reaction after the Oklahoma City Thunder fought off Houston's late rally to beat the Rockets 104-101 on Saturday (April 27), for a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven play-off series.

Script:

(English): Scott Brooks, Oklahoma City Thunder Head Coach:

"Tonight's game was a great game. We, we wanted to come in here and get this win and our guys came in focused and we got the win. We focused on a couple of areas that we didn't do well last game. We wanted to make sure that we did a good job rebounding and we did, we did a decent job in transition. Like I said, this is one of the toughest teams to guard, they play four or five small guys at one time so it's not ... They kind of force you to make some tough decisions but I thought our guys did a good job rebounding."

SOUNDBITE (English): Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder Forward:

"We just wanted to play our hardest and I think, you know, we left it all out there on the floor. You know, Houston, they're a really good team man and I think people out there underestimate what they do on both ends of the floor so we was able to come out with a lot of energy to start the game and I think that helped us and, you know, going through what we went through the last 24 hours, just wanted to stay together. I think we did a great job of that on the road."

SOUNDBITE (English): James Harden, Houston Rockets Guard

"You know, he just made a lucky shot. You know, it was good defense, ball bounced three times around the rim and it just went in. It kind of took some of the energy out of us. But it was a big-time shot."

(English): Kevin McHale, Houston Rockets Head Coach:

"For us, yeah, there's definitely a series of, we battled back the last two games, we had leads in the fourth quarter, now we've got to win games, I mean, that's what you're out there for."
