The Houston Rockets finally know who their opponents are in the second round. After a series for the ages, the Los Angeles Clippers won the right to advance over the San Antonio Spurs. The second round probably won’t live up to that level of theater, but there are three matchups worth watching.
Houston and Los Angeles squared off on four occasions this season, splitting them evenly, but it would be a bit of an overstatement to say the two “teams” did. The rosters that will face each other in the postseason have not yet bumped heads.
