The Los Angeles Clippers v.s The Houston Rockets

Friday night The Los Angeles Clippers stomped The Houston Rockets 102-85. The top performers were Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford. Blake Griffin finished the game with 30 points and 10 rebounds. Jamal Crawford had 21 points to help the Clippers get the win. The announcing of this game was unique. There weren't many cliche terms being used except one. One of the announcers said "putting on a clinic" which is a commonly used cliche. They made hilarious jokes about some of the players. One of the announcers said " I never seen a baby that big!" referring to big baby Davis's body size. What I really liked about the announcing was the random facts and history about the players and the team. They made it interesting to watch because they gave the two teams history playing each other. After Deandre Jordan got a rebound they stated the fact that Deandre Jordan is always healthy not missing many games in his career. They brought up the fact that The Clippers have won the last 9 out of 10 match ups before that game. Watching this game I realized that the announcing would be very boring if they didn't have facts and statistics to bring to the table. The game would literally be the announcers just stating every play and not being original. This game was broadcast on NBATV  because the anticipation the game being a good one. It was two teams in the Western Conference that are predicated to go to the playoffs and maybe meet up there. Overall, the media did a great job of covering the game even though it resulted in a blowout loss for The Rockets.
