James Harden takes over, Rockets defense steps up in Game 2 victory over Clippers.
After a disheartening Game 1 loss, the first half of Game 2 isn't exactly what the Rockets were looking for. Especially not the second quarter. The Clippers scorched the Rockets for 41 points on only 25 possessions in the second quarter. Blake Griffin lead the charge as he continued to look like, one of, if not the best player in the playoffs. He did whatever he wanted and poured in 26 points in the half.
The only time the Rockets looked like they stood a chance was when DeAndre Jordan went to the bench and that was only because he picked up two fouls.
