Well, we have a tied series. The Los Angeles Clippers weren’t exactly able to close the game up against Houston on Wednesday night. They are hoping that they will have their star PG back for Game 3 so that they can get back to normality.
Chris Paul worked out on the court yesterday which was a very good sign that his recovery is progressing in the right direction following his hamstring injury. Doc Rivers told the media “everything is going well,” but the decision will come down to the “eye and feel test.”
Blake Griffin has really pulled through for the Clippers, but his efforts weren’t enough against James Harden and the Clippers. Griffin said the following, as reported by NBA.com:
“Front-and-back double team. I wouldn’t say they spaced it out. They clogged it up, to be honest,” Griffin said of Houston’s defensive tactics. “We have to do a better job of reading that and reacting off of it. I have to do a better job of moving off the ball to get open.
James Harden also said the following, as reported by NBA.com:
“We let Game 1 slip away and we didn’t want that feeling for Game 2,” Harden said. “It’s going to be a tough two games in a row, but we’ve got our mojo now.
We got momentum going into Game 3,” Harden said. “Guys are prepared now.”
Let’s keep this thing going Clippers, your fans are right behind you!
Let’s go Clippers! Be Relentless!!
