After Action Report
The Clippers blew the doors off the Rockets 115-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 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.
