Obviously I'm biased being a Rox fan but to me I just got the sense that the Rockets were soooo confident before the game began watching them during warmups....kinda as if they know they have that mental edge going back to last season beating the clips in the playoffs. Even with 3 players out of the lineup on the road without Paul playing. Yes it's baffling to see we outrebounded the Clips for sure. Quite shocking for sure. Rox were pushing the ball up fast. Howard obviously made a big difference as if the Clippers didn't even contest the rebounds most of the night.
