The LA Clippers suffered one of their toughest losses of the season Thursday night when they blew a 17-point lead at home to the Houston Rockets, a team they’ve become all too familiar with over the years. The two teams simply don’t get along, and there’s never any bad blood lost when they meet.
The loss pushed the Clippers back to the Western Conference’s third seed, behind the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, and bumped their home record down to 14-2.
This weekend, the Clippers will have a chance to get back on track — but they’ll again have to go through some well-known teams.
