The Rockets survived the Clippers 92-91. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
