After Action Report
The Clippers rolled past the Rockets 99-72. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
