The Houston Rockets return home tonight for the second half of a “home and home” against the Los Angeles Clippers. These teams played on Monday night and despite holding a 5-point lead with under 2 minutes to go, the Rockets got Paul George’d to the tune of a 95-93 loss. It was easily Houston’s best defensive game of the season, and even with the loss that’s something for Stephen Silas and co. to build upon.
Kawhi Leonard will still be out for the Clips, who were also missing former Rockets Robert Covington and John Wall.
