After Action Report
The Clippers took care of the Rockets 115-102. Clippers torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
