PHOTO: Rockets' Brewer takes Sunday stroll to Game 7 vs. Clippers
Most NBA players do not walk to work, let alone to playoff Game 7s. And if you believe former Rockets player Chandler Parsons, downtown Houston is not that pleasant.
However, neither of those stereotypes stopped the Rockets' Corey Brewer from walking to the Toyota Center on Sunday, hours before a Game 7 showdown with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Just drove past Corey Brewer ... walking to Toyota Center for Game 7.

Then again, Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey did take the city's subway to a playoff Game 7 last year, although that end game result wasn't favorable to the Raps.
Brewer, obtained from the Minnesota Timberwolves in December, has been a key factor in the Rockets' last two wins in the series, shooting a combined 13-for-22. He scored 15 points and grabbed four rebounds in the fourth quarter of Game 6 alone.
