This is going to be a short recap, too annoyed to write a long ostensibly coherent one. Resorting to Bullet Points - The Lazy Man’s Friend(tm).
- This looked like a loss from the start, but the Rockets battled back against a deep and healthy Clippers team, despite missing Danuel House and Eric Gordon. Add either one and it’s probably a Rockets win.
- The fourth quarter was something of a travesty. If you wanted to describe a situation where the referees were worried about a free throw disparity and did their best to make it up in a quarter, in the opening seconds of a quarter, it might well look like this fourth quarter.
