After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Knicks 117-97. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
