Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Houston's isolation-heavy offense had made James Harden the leading MVP candidate and placed the Rockets on a long winning streak. The Clippers were transitioning away from Lob City but still carried the tension of Chris Paul's recent departure for Houston.

  • The Rockets entered with 13 consecutive wins and the league's best record.
  • Harden's step-back three had become the central unsolved problem of Houston's offense and a defining move of the season.
