After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers squeaked past the Rockets 107-102. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
