LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – The last time the Houston Rockets played a Game 7, they didn’t have Chris Paul and they wound up losing.Paul wants to see history repeat itself.The former Houston guard simply has willed fifth-seeded Oklahoma City into a deciding game of its Western Conference first-round series against the fourth-seeded Rockets, with Game 7 — the last game of the opening round of this postseason — set to be played Wednesday night.“Ain’t nothing like it,” Paul said.The winner moves on to Game 1 of a West semifinal series against the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.
The loser leaves the NBA’s restart bubble at Walt Disney World and goes home, certain to be lamenting a chance that got away.Houston might already be.
