After Action Report
The Clippers rolled past the Rockets 129-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
