After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers fended off the Clippers 115-106. Lakers torched the Clippers on the offensive end. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
