After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Clippers 126-120. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

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