An Iconic Season for the Houston Rockets
The 1995 NBA season was a defining moment for the Houston Rockets, culminating in a triumphant 4-0 sweep over the Orlando Magic to secure the championship. This victory was not only a testament to the team’s prowess but also marked a significant milestone in Clyde Drexler’s illustrious career.
