After Action Report
The Clippers pulled away from the Lakers 109-99. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
