After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Jazz 80-76. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
