Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Clippers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 23, 2025

The opening quarter set the tone for a game that never slowed down: Houston and Los Angeles combined for 64 points in the first 12 minutes, establishing a pace that neither team would abandon despite the Clippers ultimately winning 128–108. That fast-paced start foreshadowed an OVER result, with the combined final of 236 landing well north of the 219.5 market total, cashing OVER by 16.5 points. DAGGER's pregame call to go UNDER missed as the two teams kept the tempo high throughout, combining for 121 points in the first half alone.

Kawhi Leonard dominated for Los Angeles, pouring in 41 points while adding 8 rebounds and 5 assists, providing the scoring anchor the Clippers needed. James Harden chipped in 29 points with 6 assists. For Houston, Kevin Durant led with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist, while Alperen Sengun contributed 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. Amen Thompson added 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists in the losing effort. The second half slowed slightly—the teams combined for just 115 points across 24 minutes—but the early offensive burst had already determined the game's trajectory. This matchup reversed the teams' recent head-to-head script: in their last meeting, Houston edged Los Angeles 115–113 on a total of 228, but Leonard's eruption here proved decisive in a cleaner Clippers victory.
