After Action Report

The Clippers edged the Kings 105-98. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. 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 · 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.
