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.
