LOOK: Rockets wear all black to Game 5, appear to dress for a Thunder funeral
A few Rockets decided to wear all black to the game
Judging by their attire, some of the Rockets appear confident that they're going to finish off the Thunder in Game 5 on Tuesday night.
James Harden, Nene Hilario and Eric Gordon wore black to the arena before the game, perhaps signifying that they're getting ready for a Thunder funeral in Game 5. The Rockets are up 3-1 in the series, so a win on Tuesday would send the Thunder packing.
Well, well. Did some of the Rockets wear black to honor the death of the Thunder's playoffs? @DreamShakeSBN, @RedNationHoops, @BenDuBose pic.twitter.com/Ist7nZHKVz

Wearing all black to a game is something that's been done in the past in the NBA -- the Wizards did it in January for their game against the Celtics -- but there's just one little problem with the Rockets doing it.
RUSSELL WESTBROOK IS ON THE OTHER TEAM.
If there's one guy who doesn't need any more motivation to go insane, it's Westbrook. You know he was already pumped up to help get the series back to OKC, and you better believe he saw this gimmick from the Rockets.
Perhaps Houston's decision to wear all black gave them confidence, but it may not outweigh the Westbrook monster they may have unleashed.
