After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Clippers 118-99. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
