After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Clippers 106-95. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
