It's win or go home time. Tonight's live stream of Game 7 of Thunder vs Rockets will end this roller coaster of the NBA playoffs. With everything on the line in this Western Conference series, only one team will win and move on to the semifinals.

This matchup featured the juiciest storyline of the playoffs: the Thunder's Chris Paul will face his former team that traded him away last season. In Oklahoma City, he has regained his All-Star level of play, leading his young team to the brink of the semifinals. Meanwhile, former Thunder star Russell Westbrook is now suiting up for the Rockets. After returning from injury, he finally got in on the action in Game 5.

All that drama was reflected in the roller-coaster action. In Game 5, Paul proved his iron will by scoring eight of his final 12 points, including two go-ahead free throws with 13.1 seconds left for the Thunder. This decisive battle will give Paul even more motivation to deliver another clutch performance.

Westbrook has been rusty since returning to play, but he and James Harden will not go down without a fight. They will do whatever it takes to play the Lakers in the semifinals.
