Rockets-Clippers Preview (Yahoo Sports)

The most unique task Doc Rivers faces with the Los Angeles Clippers is balancing the roles of coach and father. With Chris Paul's health improving, the younger Rivers probably won't need to duplicate his outstanding Game 3 performance when the Clippers try to take a 3-1 series lead over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night at Staples Center. Paul missed the opening two games of this Western Conference semifinal with a strained left hamstring but returned for Saturday's 124-99 win, and the playmaker was able to limit himself to 23 minutes while Austin Rivers played as if he were the eight-time All-Star. Rivers shot 10 of 13 from the field and scored 25 points, including 13 during an 18-0 run that closed the third quarter and slammed the door on the Rockets.
