After Action Report

In Houston, the Clippers outlasted the Rockets 118-111. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
