After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Clippers 127-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
