After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Clippers 129-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
