After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers buried the Trail Blazers 111-88. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
