After Action Report
The Clippers blew the doors off the Mavericks 128-83. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; Clippers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
