After Action Report

The Clippers outlasted the Lakers 101-93. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
