Clipper's @ Rockets Game One (Chris Paul DNP)
I wound't call the Rocket's performance rusty, but they did play like the first day at work after being on vacation for a week = too many turnovers!
The Clippers tied a NBA Playoff record for three-pointers in a half, hitting 11 of 16 in the 2nd half (2011 Mavericks were the other team)
I only got to watch the first half, the 2nd half was enjoyed via AM radio due to being at work. What I saw in the first half, the game was basically Howard, Harden, Ariza vs. Griffin and Jordan.
Last but not least......the Houston Rockets have never won a title in a post season where they didn't lose game one of the semis!
