Houston may have finally put an end to questions with a 99-85 win over Oklahoma Cty today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. White was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Oklahoma Cty. White let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.

Houston was led by White (10 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Sims (12 points, 5 boards, 5 assists), Fox (18 points, 0 assists, a block). Oklahoma Cty was led by Johnson (17 points, 11 boards, 0 assists, a block), Golden (17 points, 9 boards, 0 assists), Cooper (10 points, a steal, a block).

Houston are now 32-26 after today's win. They stay at #2 in the Southwest and hold at #6 overall in the Western Conference. With this defeat, Oklahoma Cty are now 26-31 and 16-11 at home. They remain at #4 in the Northwest and remain at #9 overall in the Western Conference.
