After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Clippers 123-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
