After Action Report
In Houston, the Clippers upended the Rockets 123-118. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
