Description

The Rockets (54-14) clinched the 2017-18 Southwest Division title Thursday night with a 101-96 come-from-behind victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, led by a big night from Clint Capela (19 points, 12 rebounds, career-high 6 blocks) on the interior against DeAndre Jordan. It's just the sixth division title in franchise history for Houston, which previously won its division in 1977, 1986, 1993, 1994, and 2015.The Rockets were down 12 midway through the third quarter, but finished the game on a 47-30 run over the final 19 minutes to take control. With the win, Houston remains two games up on the Golden State Warriors (52-16) and also holds the tiebreaker in the race for the West's No. 1 seed and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.Eric Gordon (23 points, 7-of-9 on 3s) was on fire from behind the arc, while MVP frontrunner James Harden led the Rockets in scoring with 24 points and delivered a dagger stepback jumper over Austin Rivers with under 30 seconds remaining to seal the game.Our postgame show breaks down Capela's showing and all the other key storylines, including the Rockets evening the season series with the Clippers (37-30), another red-hot night from Gordon behind the arc, and an uncharacteristically sloppy game from Chris Paul against his former team.#Rockets #NBA #Clippers Learn more about your ad choices.
