Honestly, you didn’t watch the last minutes of Houston Rockets‘102-89 won first Oklahoma City Thunder on the second night. It probably is, but you’re missing out on one of the most hilarious and rewarding moments of the season so far as a result.

Reduced by 15 with less than 90 seconds to play, Thunder sent the ball onto the field and Aleksej Pokusevski drive and kick to According to Maledon. He missed a 3-point shot from the wide angle, a shot that no one above the Thunder cared to pursue. That gave the Rockets a chance to brazenly commit a triple heist.

The rebound came right to the Rockets’ big Alperen Sengun, but instead of grabbing the ball, he simply tapped it lightly into the empty space. Josh Christopher then started shouting for Kevin Porter Jr. to “get the ball” so loud you can hear it over the broadcast. A moment of confusion, Porter charged in, and Christopher celebrated with a heavy fist. Why? Because with that rebound, Porter secured the first double of his career.

Is this really the 10th rollback for Porter? Who knows. Porter, who finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists 4/17 from the field scored one of the slimmest triple-doubles ever? You can make the case. This is still great, isn’t it? Sure.

Christopher may have just closed the Team of the Year award with this play. First of all, this is amazing realization. Not only did he know exactly where Porter was with his stats, but he orchestrated the situation to perfection by calling Sengun out and directing Porter into the ball. Then the enthusiasm when his plan paid off and Porter got his double was exciting. You can’t teach those invisible types.

Between helping Porter get a double three times and claiming a third straight win, the vibes are finally starting to kick back in Houston. They are still only 4-16, but they no longer have the worst record in the league and the winning streak will take some heat by head coach Stephen Silas.
