After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets demolished the Clippers 125-97. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
