Rockets Collapse in Final Minute, Edged by Clips, 102-99
Failure to Close. True Enemies. Looking Ahead.
The Rockets couldn’t hold a lead in the final minute, and lost to the Clippers, 102-99, on Friday night. It was one of the most entertaining games of the season, and Los Angeles brought out the best in both teams. These two rivals will be enemies until the end of the year, when they’ll probably meet in the playoffs. What an epic series that would be. Only time will tell if it will happen. Houston hopes that a return home that break the skid. The upstart Mavs come to town, as the Rockets have another tough battle on their hands if they want to stop the losing streak at two games.
