The Clippers and Rockets both sport 7-3 records through their first ten games of the season, but both teams have been winning in very different ways.
The Clippers for instance have used stout defensive play and efficient offensive scoring to defeat teams like the Lakers and TrailBlazers while the Rockets have basically outscored their competition with two of the game’s best isolation scorers.
Ironically, this matchup pits a very solid Clippers defense against a high-powered Rockets offense. James Harden, who will likely see matchups against Patrick Beverley and Kawhi Leonard, is averaging 37.3 points per game and has produced the most points in a 10-game span(373) in the last 50 NBA seasons.
