After Action Report
The Clippers pulled away from the Trail Blazers 113-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Clippers 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.
