There was nothing good about this loss. Well, except listening to Hubie Brown.
Let's all admit what we already knew: the Rockets near 50 point win against the Grizzlies was a major fluke. That Grizzlies team resembled more of a D-League roster that night. However, tonight the Rockets faced a legitimate NBA playoff contender in the form of the L.A. Clippers, and it wasn't pretty. This game was about the Clippers simply capitalizing on the Rockets defense we have all come to know and love hate this season. The Clippers opened up a big lead by the middle of the second quarter and never looked back.
