After Action Report

The Clippers knocked off the Rockets 112-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
