After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers outlasted the Rockets 111-96. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
