After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Jazz 116-96. Every possession went the Clippers way. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Clippers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
