After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Clippers 123-105. Rockets' offense had its way with the Clippers. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
