After Action Report

The Clippers rolled past the Timberwolves 113-87. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
