After Action Report

The Clippers took care of the Mavericks 139-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
