After Action Report
The Clippers squeaked past the Mavericks 99-96. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
