After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Clippers 122-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
