Regular Season Round 58: LA Clippers - Houston R. 92-97
Date: December 22, 2010
Kevin Martin didn't have time to talk after leading the Rockets to a sloppy victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. He was already out the door and down the hallway, heading to a red-eye flight home with the team looking forward to a four-day Christmas break. Martin made his statement on the court by scoring 28 points, including four free throws in the final 16 seconds, and the Rockets held off the stubborn Clippers 97-92 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight victory after nearly blowing an 18-point lead in the second half. "We had them on the ropes, but we got a little loose with the ball in the second half and allowed them to make a run," Shane Battier said. "We've got to do a better job of delivering that knockout blow." Luis Scola added 22 points and Battier had 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists for the Rockets, who never trailed and recorded their third wire-to-wire victory - one more than they had all of last season. Houston has won 14 of 24 games after an 0-5 start and can reach the .500 mark for the first time this season with a victory against Washington when the team resumes play Monday at home. "We're playing better," Battier said. "It took us a little while to find out who we were. We're playing with more confidence, and sometimes that goes a long way in this league." Rookie Blake Griffin led Los Angeles with 24 points and tied a season high with 18 rebounds - his 17th straight double-double and 23rd overall. *Courtesy of www.cbssports.com
