After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Clippers 118-104. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Clippers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
