After Action Report
The Clippers took care of the Trail Blazers 99-86. Clippers torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
