After Action Report

The Clippers survived the Heat 113-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
