Clippers Dethrone Champs In Classic Series

The Clippers are advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals. Veteran Chris Paul battled through a series of hamstring injuries Saturday night at Staples Center. Unfortunately someone had to go home in this first round series. Paul banked home an off balance runner over Tim Duncan with about one second remaining in Game 7. The unquestioned leader of the Clippers willed him team to victory over the defending champions. The veteran Spurs will go home meanwhile the Clippers will move on and travel to Houston. The Rockets will be waiting after they eliminated the Dallas Mavericks earlier in the week. The question will be, can Chris Paul go in Game 1 and if he can how long can he play ? Last season it took at 1st round Game 7 home victory to close out Golden State dejavu.
