The Rockets head to Staples Center to take on a Clippers squad hell-bent on revenge.
Last season, the Rockets got the Blazers for the first time of the season at home with Portland coming off a back-to-back. Houston needed revenge for their first round series the year before. Harden went off and Houston blew out the Blazers.
Tonight, it's time for the favor to be returned.
The Clippers haven't forgotten last year's playoff collapse. Up 3-1 against the Rockets and then up double-digits in the second half at home in Game 6, the Clippers blew every remaining game to be knocked out of the playoffs.
