    Broke the "The first team to 100 wins" rule.

    In my 25+ years of watching the NBA, I think I have personally seen this rule broken only once or twice.

    What a time to break this tough one!!!!

    I believe the Clippers were up 100-91.

    Here is the irony.

    "The first team to 100 wins"

    It is called Lawler's Law.

    A term coined by Los Angeles Clippers broadcaster Ralph Lawer.

    Interesting. Repped. I never knew that and I honestly hate when Worrell says first team to a 100 etc. I've seen us lose plenty of games like that.......

    I was in the toilet, pooping, for a big part of that quarter :( At least I saw the end.

    yeah that was going on in my head "the rockets are gonna break lawlers law". an elimination game comeback win when the other team already hit 100.

    when you analyze this game on the rockets side, it was an amazing win.
