In Games 1, 2 and 5, the Rockets averaged a mere 8.3 turnovers and cruised to double-digit victories. In Games 3, 4 and 6, Houston averaged 17.3 turnovers in three close losses, including 22 giveaways in a 104-100 setback on Monday that set the table for a winner-take-all, Game 7 tilt in the AdventHealth Arena at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando on Wednesday.
"Twenty-two (turnovers) just sealed our fate," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters after Game 6.
The Rockets accumulated enough miscues to find themselves on the brink of elimination, a position that seemed unlikely when Houston raced to a 2-0 series lead and after the Rockets reclaimed control with a 34-point dismantling of the Thunder in Game 5.
"There's no excuse for some of the losses we have in this series," Rockets forward P.J. Tucker said. "And there's no excuse for us to still be sitting here talking about things that we should be doing anyways and that should be fixated in our minds completely. We shouldn't have to meet, we shouldn't have film sessions, we shouldn't have any of that stuff. Let's talk about the things that are costing us the game.
