11:12: Brewer pushes in transition with no advantage but draws a shooting foul from Rivers (makes one)
92-80
10:52: CP3 blocked on a three where Big Baby was the screener twice and the Rockets paid no attention
to Baby at all.
10:45: Transition push into a missed Brewer three, Jones gets the rebound.
10:30: Brewer maybe travels but beats Rivers for a driving two. 92-82
10:15: Big Baby turnover after pick-and-roll puts the ball in his hands. Baby tried to dump to Jordan
because he had nothing.
10:06: Rockets had a nice shot in transition but turned it over.
10:00 Paul gets it in transition and draws two FTs (makes both). 94-82
9:45: Ariza hits a three after Crawford gets picked easily on a screen.

9:27: Griffin misses 18-foot pop that was open/executed.

7:29: Brewer drives after Barnes gets caught going under (through the screen) on the PnR and makes
the and-1 bucket when Griffin is a hair late on the block. 100-91
7:15: Lazy screen by Blake so Terry almost steals the ball on the pop after the PnR.
7:12: Lazy pass by Barnes to Blake gets picked off by Smith, who hits the three in the scramble on the
other end. 100-94
6:46: Chris Paul beats Dwight Howard on the backside of the PnR way above the three point line on a
scoring drive. 102-94
6:25: Blake Griffin on the lazy closeout on Smith on an easy PnR first pass. 102-97
6:12: CP3 misses a fadeaway at the elbow on the high pinch PnR, Dwight defended much better. Brewer
starts one man break and Barnes doesnt bust his ass back so transition mayhem happens when Howard
runs the floor past Redick, who also wasnt running hard back. Howard fouled on the shot attempt
(misses both FTs).
5:57: Redick fouled on the pass (no bonus)
5:49: Jordan missed dunk at point blank range after successful pick and roll run by Crawford/Blake.

a layup. 102-99
5:12: Blake drifts toward hoop on PnR and into no mans land by going too close to help-defender
Howard, who blocks his lefty layup attempt after he easily beats Smith to the left. If he drifts away from
the defender he has an open 18-footer, but not sure he wants it. Ariza amazing save OOB to start the
break.
4:50: After transition break that results in miss for HOU, the rebound/scramble puts the ball in HOUs
hands, Redick and Jordan (mostly Jordan) dont figure out their assignments with plenty of time to do

so. Smith misses wide open three, but Jordan and Griffin dont move a single muscle as Howard travels
from the 3-point line to get the rebound. Howard draws shooting foul (makes one). 102-100 LAC
4:29: Griffin post chance against Howard (not a great matchup). Backs down and then drives middle to
his left hand, misses a wide open CP3 at the top for three, then drives into a crowd and cant make the
deuce over an outstretched Howard hand (shot change). Smoove grabs rebound and starts one man
break, CP3 and Crawford both miss the transition assignment on Brewer as he runs by them for an easy
two. 102-102.
4:05: Griffin gets easy catch at foul line out of CP3 PnR and takes no dribbles into a difficult one-handed
scoop (miss), again with Howard challenging him.
3:59: Howard calls timeout because hes gassed (really dumb TO but it worked out).
3:46: J.J. Redick overhelps after Griffin tags Howard on a roll, Terry finds Brewer on the skip pass in the
corner for a late/ineffective close out by Redick and a corner three. 105-102 HOU
3:17: After ineffective dribbling/handling by CP3/Griffin to start play, it eventually gets going on a PnR
between those two and Crawford gets an open look from the corner three (miss).
3:03: Smith gets Jordan on a switch and draws a shooting foul after the up and under (makes one). 106102.
2:54: Griffin passes up a wide open 18-footer to consider a pass, double-clutches, passes to CP3 in the
corner for an off balance three (miss).
2:28: Terry destroys Jordan on the back side of a Howard pick and roll with a step back jumper (make)
from 18-feet. 108-102
2:15: Rockets run poorly executed play to get a Redick three in the corner, he jump passes into a set of
scrambled Clips passes that eventually find Blake at the FT line relatively open, he plays hot potato with
the ball so doesnt use the advantage, passes to CP3, they go into a PnR, Griffin gets hung up on another
double-clutch pass that turns into an ill-fated dribble drive that Josh Smith blocks it out of bounds.
2:07: CP3 gets OOB pass in corner, opts for Dirk step back (really bad shot and miss).
1:49: Josh Smith gets Jordan on a switch and hits a step back three over him. 111-102 HOU
1:30: Redick misses wide open three.
1:16: Blake fouls Smith for no reason at the top of the key (makes one). 112-102 HOU

0:53: Brewer fouled intentionally in transition (makes one). 114-104

0:52: Howard moves Griffin out of the way on the FTA and gets the board/foul (misses both). Brewer
gets the rebound and misses it.
