NBA 2018-19: 3 talking points from Houston Rockets vs LA Clippers

#1 The Rockets seem unbeatable if the Big 3 are on point

Houston Rockets Big 3 seem to be getting it together

The Houston Rockets have become the number three seed in the Western Conference and have a 51-28 record, winning eight of their last 10 matches and are on a four game winning streak, which looks set to keep going as long as the trio of James Harden, Chris Paul and Clint Capela are in form.

In the game against the Los Angeles Clippers, James Harden again led the game in scoring, dropping 31 points, seven assists and seven rebounds in another big night for him. He was also efficient from the field, scoring 60% from the field.

Chris Paul had a bad shooting night against the Sacramento Kings during the last game but came back strong in this one against his old team. He scored a huge 29 points and had seven assists and four rebounds, along with a steal and a block to go with it. He was an efficient 52% from the field as well, making 10 of his 19 shot attempts.

Clint Capela was also quiet in the game against the Sacramento Kings last night and roared back into form in this one, playing around with the Clippers in the paint with his size and speed. He scored a great 24 points, shooting 64% from the field. He even grabbed himself a double double, with 15 rebounds and two blocks to go with it as well.

If the Big 3 of the Houston Rockets keep their strong form going from this game to the next and are on point during the playoffs, they will be one of the strongest teams in the playoffs, and will be very difficult to beat.
