After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Clippers 106-98. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
