Clippers visit Rockets with playoffs, record on mind
The difficult portion of the regular-season schedule is over for the Los Angeles Clippers.
All that's left is to remain healthy, fine tune a few things and maybe set an NBA record before the postseason begins next week.
Los Angeles will face the Rockets on Friday night in Houston in their second-to-last game before heading to the playoffs, likely as the third-seeded team in the Western Conference.
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said after a 113-90 win at the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night that he hadn't decided if stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George would play in the second game on back-to-back nights, but Los Angeles (47-23) shouldn't face much resistance from the Rockets regardless.
