After Action Report
The Clippers squeaked past the Rockets 101-100. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Clippers sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
