After Action Report
The Clippers pulled away from the Rockets 100-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
