The Clippers are no stranger to Game 7, as they already played in a historically great one vs. the San Antonio Spurs in Round 1. This time though, they are not on their home court and they're going to have to deal with a suddenly rampaging Dwight Howard.
The Rockets big man tore apart the Clippers frontcourt for 20 points and 21 rebounds in a Game 6 victory that stunned the NBA. On the Staples Center floor the Rockets blew past Los Angeles in the fourth quarter, outscoring them 40-15. He's averaged 20 points and 18 boards over the last two games of the series, both wide victories for Houston in their comeback from a 3-1 deficit.
Even more shocking, the Rockets fourth quarter eruption did not feature James Harden, who was anchored to the bench while reserves Josh Smith (19 points, six rebounds) and Corey Brewer (19 points, 10 rebounds) had career nights.
The Clippers received big games from their top guns Chris Paul (31 points, 11 assists) and Blake Griffin (28 points eight rebounds), but DeAndre Jordan had a quiet night on the score sheet and the Clippers bench combined to score just 16 points.
