After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Heat 96-94. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
