If we had kindly asked the referees to stop the count after the first quarter, the Rockets would have been winners tonight.
Unfortunately, despite a double-digit first quarter lead, the team fell by 17 points tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Final score: Clippers 126, Rockets 109
The Rockets jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter with a 15-2 run that put the Rockets up double digits early on.
Then, the wheels fell off rather quickly in the second quarter with a 25-3 Clippers run that nearly kicked the Rockets out of the gym.
