After knocking off the defending champion Spurs in the first round, the Clippers built a 3-1 series lead over the Rockets in the Western Conference Semifinals.
But in a stunning turn of events, the Clippers lost the next three games, including Sunday's Game 7 in Houston, becoming the ninth team in NBA history to blow a 3-1 series lead.
The Clippers squandered a chance to go to their franchise's first-ever conference finals.

Following Game 7, Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson didn't miss a chance to provide his take on Clippers' playoff exit.
"I thought the Spurs taught the Clippers how to win after a tough 7 game series. I was wrong. The Clippers are still the Clippers," Johnson wrote on Twitter Sunday afternoon.
Johnson also addressed the Clippers blowing a 19-point lead in Game 6.
"The Clippers organization will always remember not closing out the Rockets in Game 6 at home. That game will always haunt them," Johnson wrote.
He capped off his series of tweets about the Clippers with an assessment of the team moving forward.
"I think the Clippers must make roster changes if they want to get to the Western Conference Finals and the NBA Finals!" Johnson concluded.
