The Houston Rockets are on a hot streak, and Thursday night was no exception. Led by Amen Thompson's impressive performance, the team secured a thrilling 115-113 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Thompson's game-high 20 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists were just the beginning of his outstanding display. His clutch three-point play with 17.2 seconds left sealed the win for the Rockets, as he tipped in Alperen Sengun's miss to break a 110-110 tie and then hit the and-one free throw.

The Rockets' rebounding prowess was on full display, outrebounding the Clippers 51-28 and avoiding their first back-to-back losses since October 24. Thompson's putback came off Houston's third offensive rebound of the possession and 21st of the night – a testament to the team's determination and resilience.

Sengun led the Rockets with 22 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, and four steals, while Jabari Smith Jr added 18 points to the mix. Kevin Durant chipped in with 13 of his 16 points in the third quarter, knocking down four shots in a row after starting the game just 1 for 7.

On the other side of the court, Ivica Zubac matched a season-high with 33 points for the Clippers, shooting an impressive 13 of 14 from the field. Kawhi Leonard scored 24 points in a season-high 41 minutes, and James Harden added 22 points against his former team.

Despite their best efforts, the Clippers fell short, suffering their third loss in a row and eighth in nine games. The Rockets, on the other hand, continue to soar, now standing at an impressive 16-6 record.

In Thompson's own words We just kept fighting and believing in each other. And that's exactly what the Rockets did – they fought hard and believed in themselves until the very end.
