After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Clippers 123-100. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Clippers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
