After Action Report
The Clippers fended off the Trail Blazers 107-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
