After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Clippers 109-96. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
