But they "must" protect that home court and complete the sweep right? Do you remember the Lakers winning both games at Pheonix back in 1992 and coming back home with a 2-0 lead and lost the series?
No I don't. I bet you could spend 10 minutes and come up with 100 instances of sports teams going up 2-0, going home, losing a game, and winning the series.
Do you remember the Kings coming back from down 3-0 vs. the Sharks? Does that mean if the Bulls win game 3 that game 4 is a must win?

It wouldn't be a must win because no NBA team has never come back from being down 0-3 but I would think they would want to win Game 4 so they can rest up for the 2nd round.
I think the closet I seen a team coming back from 0-3 is the Mavs/Blazers series and don't remember what team was down 0-3 but they forced a game 7 and lost.
Too much hero ball from Westbrook, who's exhausted as it is.
I get it that this is how he's always rolled, but you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
Still, I do admire his fighting spirit. You wonder how many more seasons his body is going to allow him to play like this, every single game night.
Felt like OKC was trying to win the game in the 1st half. Not sure they will have anything left for game 3 since they lead most of the game and came up short.

At some point, Donovan has to reign Westbrook in a bit. It won't happen for the remainder of this season - but at some point, he has to let it sink in that's it's a team game.
Who contributed for the Rockets while Harden was misfiring? Lou Williams.
Who contributed down the stretch? Harden along with Williams, and Eric Gordon.
OKC (or Westbrook) forgot how they had the lead in the first half. Everyone was scoring, and it was mainly inside. Doug McD was hitting from the outside.

That's one of the reasons why Durant left for sure.
OKC actually had some incredibly lucky breaks and chances the last few minutes.
And Westbrook threw it away with shot after shot and not involving his teammates at all.
