The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers face off once again. Watch the live streaming action as the Rockets will look to bounce back from a loss and attempt to get payback after losing their first meeting just a couple of days ago. Check out the link forwarding you to the live game, but first, let's look at what these teams have been through since they last met.
The Rockets bounced back well after the Clippers pounded them, 137-118. They defeated the Portland Trail Blazers soundly, finishing them off 116-101. However, they could not improve to 5-1 in a game that they should have won against the weaker Los Angeles Lakers team.
Steve Blaked popped a three in Dwight Howard's face, putting the finishing touches on the Rockets. A big reason for the Rockets' loss was the Lakers hitting 46 percent of their threes (16-35). The Lakers also managed to outrebound the Rockets 47-44 and finished the night winning the assist battle 26-17. The one thing the Rockets did right and the Lakers could not find the answer to was James hard, who had an amazing night. He scored 35 points along with nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocked shots. The loss dropped the Rockets to 4-2, but do not sleep on this bunch.
The Clippers will try to repeat the same performance against the Rockets, but this time it will have to come on the road, where they have lost three games this season. When playing road games, the Clippers are 1-3, picking up a lone win against the Sacramento Kings. Since beating the Rockets, the Clippers lost to the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat.
Many are expecting a lot from these two ball clubs. The Clippers are expected to challenge the Rockets for the Western Conference title. The Rockets, because of their depth and size, are expected to dominant the conference and advance to the NBA Finals. Though the East has won the championship in back to back hyears, the West looks strong enough to challenge the East in the NBA FInals this season.
The Rockets are young and talented, while the Clippers are also a talented bunch.
