After Action Report

The Clippers survived the Rockets 115-110. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
