After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Clippers 118-106. Rockets' offense had its way with the Clippers. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
