The Clippers’ varsity squad did their job and beat the Rockets’ JV squad in a 125-96 win. Los Angeles needed a win and a Jazz loss to the Warriors to clinch homecourt for the first round, but the Jazz got the road win, so it will come down to Wednesday night’s games in order to determine who hosts the beginning of the series. A win for the Clippers against the Kings at home will get the job done.
There really isn’t much to say about this game. Half of the playoff rotation was out resting and nursing injuries, and we saw a lot of guys that would normally not see a lot of playing time.
