When Yao Ming and Steve Francis combine for just 16 points, you expect a rout - only not in the Rockets' favor.
Houston, led by James Posey, jumped all over the Clippers early, leading by as many as 28 points in the second quarter, en route to a 108-90 win in LA Monday night.
Couple the win with a Phoenix loss and Houston now has a one-game advantage for the 8th seed.
The Rockets as a team hit over 55% from the floor and even more impressively, knocked down 60% (12-20) from long range.
