The Clippers are trying to make their way back into the Western Conference playoffs; in the process, they sure made the Rockets look like a lottery team.
Outside of a brief cold spell to start the game, LA had no difficulty scoring against a lackluster Houston defense, smashing the James Harden-less Rockets 133-113. A 17-0 run spanning the third and fourth quarters gave the Clippers the necessary cushion to blow the game open as they held the lead throughout the second half.
LA got contributions throughout the roster, while Houston’s lack of depth was readily apparent.
