In this story:

The Houston Rockets are back in action tonight to wrap up a three-game road trip as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers in the franchise's first matchup at the Intuit Dome.

The Rockets dropped the first two games on the road trip to the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors, so they are hoping for a better result tonight against the Clippers. Given the fact that the Rockets haven't played since Thursday and the Clippers' last game was at home on Wednesday, the two teams are well-rested coming into this big-time rivalry matchup in Inglewood.
