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.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
