After Action Report

The Clippers snuck past the Rockets 96-93 in overtime. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Clippers; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
