It's time to win or go home. Tonight's Thunder vs Rockets live stream of game 7 will end this roller coaster of the NBA playoffs. Everything is on the line in this Western Conference series, and only one team will prevail and move onto the semifinals.
The match-up featured the juiciest storyline in the playoffs: The Thunder's Chris Paul facing off against his former team, which traded him away last season. In Oklahoma City, he returned to all-star level play and has guided a young team to the brink of the semifinals. Meanwhile, former Thunder star Russell Westbrook is now suiting up for the Rockets. He finally joined in the fun in game 5 after recovering from injury.

All of that drama has been reflected in the roller coaster action. In game 5, Paul proved his iron will, scoring eight of the Thunder's final 12 points, including two go-ahead free throws with 13.1 seconds left. In this decisive game, Paul will have even more motivation to give another clutch performance.
Westbrook has been rusty since returning to play, but he and James Harden won't go down without a fight. They'll do whatever they can to meet up with the Lakers in the semis.
So, here is everything you need to watch the Thunder vs Rockets live stream for game 7 — and for the rest of this Round 1 series as well.
