The Western Conference is loaded with talent once again, and the two teams in LA, along with the Houston Rockets, are arguably the three most talented teams in the conference. Since we’ve already taken a look at how the Rockets and Lakers stack up against each other, it’s time to take a look at how the Rockets and the Clippers measure up.
Last season, the Clippers actually won the season series against Houston 2-1. The Clippers beat the Rockets twice over a five-day span last October, including a 133-113 win at Toyota Center. However, Chris Paul sat out in the first game and James Harden missed the second one, so the Rockets weren’t at full strength.
