After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Knicks 96-95. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
