After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers buried the Magic 156-129. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell; Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
