After Action Report

The Clippers knocked off the Mavericks 128-126. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
