After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers pulled away from the Rockets 144-129. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
