Mike Conley scored 26 points and tried to keep the Grizzlies in the game by providing seven points during a 17-3 run that cut San Antonio's lead to 87-83 with nine minutes left.
"That's how we played the whole series", Williams said.
Rudy Gobert got hurt just after tip-off of game one, and missed the first three games in which the Clippers took a two-one lead. We understand what he brings to the table, we understand how important he is to that group of guys.
"That was actually the first time we've exchanged words this postseason, but he's a really good player..."
He finished with 47 points on 15-of-34 shooting (five of 18 from deep and 12 of 17 from the line) to go with 11 rebounds and nine assists, to finish agonisingly close to a fourth straight triple-double.
On the other hand, Beverley averaged 11.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.8 steals during the series and helped the Rockets eliminate from the Thunder in five games. Joe Johnson also hit two big baskets late, as he's become the Jazz's closer throughout the course of the series. "They do an awesome job of making the game easy for me". OKC dropped game five of their series 105-99 and lose the series 4-1.
In the second round the Rockets will face either the San Antonio Spurs or Memphis Grizzlies.

The Rockets only sub in Nene, Eric Gordon and Lou Williams. When Westbrook was on the floor (for 39 minutes per game), the Thunder outscored Houston by 4.9 points per 100 possessions.
"Coming out of the halftime and in that third quarter he was obviously spectacular", Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. He did, however, go to work on the defensive end. By the second quarter, the Rockets were turning those chances into points.
Nene scored 28 points on ideal shooting from the field, and the Rockets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 113-109 on Sunday to take a 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.
It truly was Westbrook against the Rockets. Abrines had 11 points. Adams went 6 for 6 from the field in the first half. Alexander walked from his courtside seat and said something to Kennedy before returning to sit down. He did not score, and he committed two fouls.
