Clippers Fall to Rockets 104-90 Despite Gilgeous-Alexander’s Excellence

Houston got off to an early lead in this one, and never looked back. While the Clippers fought hard all game, and made several pushes to close the gap, their inability to hit threes or keep the Rockets from hitting theirs made a win impossible. Overall, the Clippers were outscored by 30 points from deep— it’s impossible to win games with that massive a gap. The nail in the coffin was a torrid 22-3 stretch by the Rockets from the late 3^rd to the early 4^th quarters with the Clippers’ starters on the bench, replete with Clippers’ bricks and turnovers.
