Harden, Howard, McHale & Prigioni Leaving LA Hotel (Videos)
Thursday night, the Houston Rockets battle the Los Angeles Clippers, in Game 6 of their Western Semifinal matchup. Houston needs a victory on the road in LA to bring the series back to Texas for a winner-take-all Game 7.
For Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-7, Houston called the Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey home. Located 17 miles southwest of Staples Center, the Marina provides teams with a more secluded, resort-like approach to their stay in LA.
For Game 6, the Rockets have moved inland a bit, basing themselves out of the Beverly Wilshire hotel, at the intersection of Wilshire Blvd. and Rodeo Dr., in Beverly Hills. The team has stayed at this property on many previous occasions.
Thursday afternoon, charter buses departed the Beverly Wilshire at 4:15 and 5:15, en route for Staples Center, situated in downtown LA, 9 miles east of the hotel.
Below are a series of iFolloSports.com original videos, chronicling some of those who left on the second bus.
