After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Clippers 110-86. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
