After Action Report
The Clippers outlasted the Trail Blazers 105-89. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
