Houston Rockets

The Rockets have made the playoffs for the last five years running and Houston was able to make a postseason appearance this season by posting a 55-27 regular season record that paved the way to a 2^nd place finish in the Southwest Division and a 3^rd place finish in the Western Conference.

The Rockets faced the Oklahoma City Thunder in the opening round of this year’s playoffs. Russell Westbrook put up a couple of 40-point performances and even one 50-pointer, but it was still not enough to keep the Thunder alive. In fact, Houston’s 5-1 record in that series is a clear indicator that Kevin Durant was in the right when he departed from the franchise this past offseason.

San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs are synonymous with playoff basketball considering they own a two-decade postseason streak. San Antonio earned their ticket to the playoffs this season by posting a 61-21 record that saw the club finish 1^st in the Southwest Division and 2^nd in the Western Conference. The Spurs are 4-years removed from winning the title and will be looking to close out this series later on tonight.

The Spurs faced the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. The Grizzlies were able to pick up two wins in that series, but that’s all they would get against Popovich’s Spurs.
