After Action Report

The Clippers edged the Kings 100-92. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
