After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Clippers 121-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
