No one thought the Houston Rockets were capable of this after the ugliness of Game 4, but they shocked the world again. The Rockets capped a historic comeback, taking their third straight game with backs to the wall, beating the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 on Sunday to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
The Rockets become only the ninth team in NBA history to win a series after being down 3-1. It’s the second time in franchise history as the Rockets beat the Suns in the 1995 Western Conference Semifinals after trailing 3-1.
The Rockets move on to the West Finals for the first time since 1997.
