With last night’s 101-96 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers combined with the San Antonio Spurs defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 98-93, the Houston Rockets have officially won the Southwest Division title.
This is just the sixth time the Rockets have won their division, which seems pretty incredible considering the rich history of basketball behind Rockets’ lore. But yes, it is true.
The last time the Rockets won their division was 2015, which was the second year of the James Harden/Dwight Howard partnership.
