Serge Ibaka was going wild against the Houston Rockets, blocking shots, throwing down dunks and shooting threes. He greeted James Harden back to OKC with a massive block in the first quarter which set the tone for the rest of his night. Ibaka finished with 17 points on 7-11 shooting plus seven rebounds. His dunks and swats were instrumental in shutting Houston down and preventing them from getting momentum going.
Oklahoma City takes game one, 120-91.
Serge Ibaka swats his 3rd block, out to Thabo, down to Perkins for dunk. #Thunder leads #Rockets 50-44 with 2:28 till halftime.

Serge Ibaka just went MJ-against-the-Celtics with that baseline jumper. Then stuck his tongue out running back down the court.

No…. the most impressive number of the day is that Serge Ibaka is still just 23.

An Ibaka 3 puts OKC up 22. McHale better put in that dog who can do the flips. #AmexNBA

If Serge Ibaka is going to start hitting 3's all over the gym, give the trophy to the #Thunder right now. #NBAPlayoffs
