Wonderful game! $22-ticket is totally worth it. I had never thought the Clippers would be so strong that they almost beat the Rockets.
Clippers and Lakers share the same stadium - Staples Center
Yao
He seemed a little tired today.
final score
The Rockets kept losing in the first-half.
After the 1st quarter, Clippers 29 - Rockets 21
After the 2nd quarter, Clippers 49 - Rockets 42
In the 3rd quarter, the Rockets caught up and made a 9-point lead. I thought they would definitely win.
The Rockets caught up
However, the Clippers caught up at the beginning of the 4th quarter. And then the 2 teams fought fiercely and no one team could make some real advantage until the last second. Let's review the last 1 minute:
At this moment, the Rockets made 2 significant free throws. And then the Clippers got a chance of 2 free throws. However, the player was too nervous and missed both of them.
At this moment, Yao got a chance of 2 free throws. And the Rockets was surely the winner. Most of the audience as Clippers' fans started to leave.
Yao made the throws, and the final score became 87-92.
