After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers snuck past the Spurs 105-104. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
