The Los Angeles Clippers enter tonights game up 3-1 against the Houston Rockets after another knockout win against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. Tonight’s game could move them on to the Western Conference Finals, and we cannot wait!
The Clippers could be back to having full minutes Chris Paul back tonight. He said the following about the Clippers’ chances:
“It’s about us – not about the Clippers franchise and all this – but about us in that locker room,” the eight-time All-Star point guard said. “We’ve just got to go out there and play.
“I’m sure they’re not fouling to make sure my hamstring feels good,” Paul joked. “If so, I appreciate it, I guess. I’m feeling better. I think that’s all that matters. We’ve just got to stay hungry for the game on Tuesday.”
Unfortunately (not) for the Rockets, their attempt at the Hack-A-Jordan backfired big time in Game 4. DeAndre Jordan had 26 points, 17 rebounds, and went 14-34 from the line. I don’t think they came close to stopping him.
James Harden said the following, as reported by NBA.com
“We’ve got to stay focused on getting stops,” said Rockets guard James Harden, who is averaging 24.5 points in the four games. “When we do get an opportunity to attack, (we have to) take advantage of it.
“This is the ultimate adversity right here,” Harden said. “We’ve got to get one at home with Game 5 back at the house. It’s really win or go home. Our backs are against the wall and we’ve got to show up.”
