The Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Clippers will clash in Game 6 of their NBA Playoffs 2015 series tonight. The Rockets are against the ropes right now and know that another loss here tonight will see them eliminated from the postseason and a long journey home to start their off-season early.
Tonight's big Game 6 between the Clippers and Rockets has a scheduled start time of 10.30 p.m. ET and will take place from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The game will be broadcast live on TV on the ESPN network but can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.
The Clippers have another chance to close out this series having failed to see off the Rockets in Game 5. They seemed to change their tactics a little in Game 5, and instead of the aggressive and overwhelming nature of their wins earlier in the series they looked like they were trying to put on a big defensive effort to see Houston out the door.
That did not work out, and they may do well going back to the basics of what they did so well in their three previous wins over the Rockets in this series.
Barring Game 1, home court advantage has been massive in this series, and if that continues to be the decisive factor then the Clippers should be able to see themselves through with a win tonight.
Los Angeles fans are holding their breaths right now, having never seen their team progress to the Western Conference final before. They are almost there, and the players just need to make sure they keep doing what has worked for them until now and not let the pressure get to them.
The Clippers have equaled their franchise single-season record of seven Playoff wins, and one more would break that and see them through.
Blake Griffin said of the Game 5 124-103 result: "They outplayed us and played like they wanted it…We need to learn from this game and improve upon it. We have a chance to take care of business and play how we need to play."
But if the Rockets are to take this all the way to a winner takes all Game 7 they will have to improve their road form.
So far this postseason, Houston are just 1-3 on the road, and against the Clippers they have won just one of their last 10 games at the Staples Center.
