After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers ran roughshod over the Rockets 140-116. Clippers torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
