After Action Report

The Clippers edged the Lakers 113-105. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
