What to Know
The Thunder have enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Houston Rockets will face off at 7:00 p.m. ET on February 25th at Toyota Center without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
The Thunder scored the most points they’ve had all season to find success on Friday. They really took it to Washington for the full four quarters, racking up a 147-106 victory at home. The oddsmakers set the bar high with a 242.5-point over/under, but they still managed to beat it.
It was another big night for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who almost dropped a double-double on 30 points and nine assists. He has been hot recently, having posted 25 or more points the last six times he’s played. Another player making a difference was Chet Holmgren, who dropped a double-double on 25 points and ten rebounds.
Even though the Rockets have not done well against the Suns recently (they were 2-8 in their previous ten matchups), they didn’t let the past get in their way on Friday. Houston secured a 114-110 W over the Suns. The victory was just what the Rockets needed coming off of a 127-105 loss in their prior contest.
Oklahoma City pushed their record up to 39-17 with that win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 128.2 points per game. As for Houston, their victory bumped their record up to 25-31.
Sunday’s contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Thunder haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 11.7 turnovers per game (they’re ranked second in turnovers per game overall). However, it’s not like the Rockets struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging only 12.6 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Here are Oklahoma’s top headlines of the week for Dec. 12, 2025
A Pawnee native who died in a Japanese prison during World War II is headed back to Oklahoma after officials identified his body 82 years later.
James M. Walker was an infantry corporal stationed on the Philippine Islands when Japan invaded in December 1941. U.S. forces battled the Japanese in intense fighting for months, but ultimately surrendered to the invaders in April 1942.
After being taken prisoner, Walker and thousands of other prisoners of war were forced to travel 65 miles to a prison camp on the notorious Bataan Death March. More than 2,500 POWs are reported to have died at the camp.
Prison camp records showed he died on Jan. 1, 1943 at the age of 46, but he was buried in a common grave with other deceased prisoners. After the war, the American Graves Registration Service exhumed the bodies, collected samples for identification analysis and reburied the remains in a memorial cemetery in Manila.
To identify Walker’s remains, scientists used dental and anthropological analysis, as well as circumstantial evidence. The Armed Forces Medical Examiner System also used mitochondrial DNA analysis and mitochondrial genome sequencing data.
Although interred as an “unknown” for decades, Walker’s grave was meticulously cared for by the American Battle Monuments Commission. His name is listed on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in the Philippines. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate his remains have been identified.
Upon his return to the United States, Walker will be buried in Maramec, Oklahoma in January 2026.
