After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Clippers outlasted the Rockets 125-119. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
