After Action Report

The Clippers survived the Cavaliers 128-125 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
