After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets fended off the Clippers 94-85. Every possession went the Rockets way. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
