After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Jazz 97-96. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
