After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers rolled past the Mavericks 135-99. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
