After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Trail Blazers 114-75. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
