After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets survived the Clippers 127-124. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
